Heavy Mesons and Impact Ionization of Heavy Quarkonia
At the chiral restoration/deconfinement transition, most hadrons undergo a Mott transition from being bound states in the confined phase to...
-
Spectroscopy of Baryons Containing Two Heavy Quarks
Doubly heavy baryons are considered within the Effective Hamiltonian (EH) approach by Simonov, which is derived from QCD. The EH has the form of the...

Exclusive Nonleptonic B Decays from QCD Light-Cone Sum Rules
We are going to review recent advances in the theory of exclusive nonleptonic B decays. The emphasis is going to be on the factorization hypothesis...

CP Violation in B and K Decays: 2003
CP violation in B and K meson decays is not surprisingly one of the central topics in particle physics. Indeed, CP-violating and rare decays of K and...

11 Discrimination of Quantum States
The problem of discriminating among given nonorthogonal quantum states is underlying many of the schemes that have been suggested for quantum...

7 Experimental Quantum State Tomography of Optical Fields and Ultrafast Statistical Sampling
We review experimental work on the measurement of the quantum state of optical fields, and the relevant theoretical background. The basic technique...

12 Quantum States: Discrimination and Classical Information Transmission.A Review of Experimental Progress
The purpose of this chapter is to review the experimental achievements made to date in two closely related areas of quantum information science....

5 Physically Relevant Representations
From the examples and the discussion of the previous chapter, it appears that for infinite systems the choice of the representation for the algebra...

10 Appendix
a) $ W(t) \; maps \; {\cal S} \times {\cal S} \; into \; {\cal S} \times {\cal...

9 Examples
To illustrate the above general ideas we discuss simple concrete models exhibiting spontaneous symmetry breaking.

2 Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking
One of the most powerful ideas of modern theoretical physics is the mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking. It is at the basis of most of the...

3 Symmetries in Classical Field Theory
As the previous discussion indicates, it is impossible to realize the phenomenon of (spontaneous) breaking of a continuous symmetry in classical...
-
10 Constructive Symmetry Breaking
Apart from simple models, like those discussed in the previous section, the existence of a symmetry breaking order parameter is a non-trivial problem...
-
5 Stable Structures, Hilbert Sectors, Phases
The mathematical investigation of the existence of solutions for the non-linear (4.6) does not exhaust the problem of the physical interpretation of...

4 Mathematical Description of Infinitely Extended Systems
From the discussion of the previous chapter it appears that the description of infinite systems looks much more difficult than in the finite...

Lectures on Two-Dimensional Noncommutative Gauge Theory Quantization
These notes are devoted to the construction of exact solutions of noncommutative gauge theory in two spacetime dimensions. Here we shall deal with...
-
Topological Quantum Field Theories and Operator Algebras
We have seen much fruitful interactions between 3-dimensional topology and operator algebras since the stunning discovery of the Jones polynomial for...
-
11 Symmetry Breaking in the Ising Mode
Most of the theoretical wisdom on the phase transition of the ferromagnetic type and the related symmetry breaking is based on the two-dimensional...

6 Cluster Property and Pure Phases
The irreducible (physically relevant) representations selected in the previous section have a further important property, called cluster property.

17 The Goldstone Theorem for Relativistic Local Fields
Relativistic systems, like elementary particles, are described by an algebra of observables...
