An Introduction to Quantum Mechanics From Facts to Formalism

An Introduction to Quantum Mechanics From Facts to Formalism

The core content of even the most intricate intellectual edifices is often a simple fact or idea. So is it with quantum mechanics; the entire mathematical fabric of the formal description of quantum mechanics stems essentially from the fact that quantum probabilities interfere (i. e. from the superposition principle). This book is dedicated to substantiating this claim. In the process the book tries to demonstrate how the factual content of quantum mechanics can be transcribed in the formal language of vector spaces and linear transformations by disentangling the empirical content from the usual formal description. More importantly it tries to bring out what this transcription achieves. The book uses a pedagogic strategy which reverse engineers the postulates of quantum mechanics to device a schematic outline of the empirical content of quantum mechanics from which the postulates are then reconstructed step by step. This strategy is adopted to avoid the disconcerting details of actual experiments (however simplified) to spare the beginner of issues that lurk in the fragile foundations of the subject. In the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics the key idea is measurement. But measurement carries an entirely different meaning from the connotation that the term carries elsewhere in physics. This book strives to underline this as strongly as possible. The book is intended as an undergraduate text for a first course in quantum mechanics. Since the book is self contained it may also be used by enthusiastic outsiders interested to get a glimpse of the core content of the subject. Features: Demonstrates why linear algebra is the appropriate mathematical language for quantum mechanics. Uses a reconstructive approach to motivate the postulates of quantum mechanics. Builds the vocabulary of quantum mechanics by showing how the entire body of its conceptual ingredients can be constructed from the single notion of quantum measurement. | An Introduction to Quantum Mechanics From Facts to Formalism

Learning from Data for Aquatic and Geotechnical Environments

Learning from Data for Aquatic and Geotechnical Environments

The book presents machine learning as an approach to building models that learn from data and that can be used to complement the existing modelling practice in aquatic and geotechnical environments. It provides concepts of learning from data and identifies segmentation (clustering) classification regression and control as the learning tasks. A unified methodology based on the concepts of machine learning information theory and statistics is presented that can be followed to build models using data as well as expert knowledge. Several machine learning methods are used to extract features to build data-driven models in geotechnics. A set of regression models are built to predict sediment transport rates and assess harbour sedimentation. Controllers that replicate the control strategy of model-based optimal controllers of water systems are built for situations where fast and accurate decisions are needed. The models built demonstrate excellent performance; they may complement or even replace the existing models and can be used in practice. The performance of the models proves the effectiveness of the methodology and machine learning in general. | Learning from Data for Aquatic and Geotechnical Environments

Nanobrain The Making of an Artificial Brain from a Time Crystal

Nanobrain The Making of an Artificial Brain from a Time Crystal

Making an artificial brain is not a part of artificial intelligence. It will be a revolutionary journey of mankind exploring a science where one cannot write an equation a material will vibrate like geometric shape and then those shapes will change to make decisions. Geometry of silence plays like a musical instrument to mimic a human brain; our thoughts imagination everything would be a 3D shape playing as music; composing music would be the brain’s singular job. For a century the Turing machine ruled human civilization; it was believed that irrespective of complexity all events add up linearly. This book is a thesis to explore the science of decision-making where events are 3D-geometric shapes events grow within and above never side by side. ​ The book documents inventions and discoveries in neuroscience computer science materials science mathematics and chemistry that explore the possibility of brain or universe as a time crystal. The philosophy of Turing the philosophy of membrane-based neuroscience and the philosophy of linear sequential thought process are challenged here by considering that a nested time crystal encompasses the entire conscious universe. Instead of an algorithm the pattern of maximum free will is generated mathematically and that very pattern is encoded in materials such that its natural vibration integrates random events exactly similar to the way nature does it in every remote corner of our universe. Find how an artificial brain avoids any necessity for algorithm or programming using the pattern of free will. | Nanobrain The Making of an Artificial Brain from a Time Crystal
