Download this PDF book: From Quantum to Classical: Essays in Honour of H.-Dieter Zeh (Fundamental Theories of Physics, 204) by Claus Kiefer
Quantum theory is at the foundation of the physical description of our world. One of the people who contributed significantly to our conceptual understanding of this theory was Heinz-Dieter Zeh (1932-2018).
He was the pioneer of the process of decoherence, through which the classical appearance of our world can be understood. This volume presents a collection of essays dedicated to his memory, written by distinguished scientists and scholars.
They cover all aspects of the interpretation of quantum theory in general and the quantum-to-classical transition in particular.
This volume provides illuminating reading to anyone seeking a deep understanding of quantum theory and its relevance to the foundations of physics.
