商品描述
At the intersection of physics, mathematics, and computer science, an exciting new field of study has formed, known as "Topological Quantum." This research field examines the deep connections between the theory of knots, special types of subatomic particles known as anyons, certain phases of matter, and quantum computation. This book elucidates this nexus, drawing in topics ranging from quantum gravity to topology to experimental condensed matter physics. Topological quantum has increasingly been a focus point in the fields of condensed matter physics and quantum information over the last few decades, and the forefront of research now builds on the basic ideas presented in this book. The material is presented in a down-to-earth and entertaining way that is far less abstract than most of what is in the literature. While introducing the crucial concepts and placing them in context, the subject is presented without resort to the highly mathematical category theory that underlies the field. Requiring only an elementary background in quantum mechanics, this book is appropriate for all readers, from advanced undergraduates to the professional practitioner. This book will be of interest to mathematicians and computer scientists as well as physicists working on a wide range of topics. Those interested in working in these field will find this book to be an invaluable introduction as well as a crucial reference.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
在物理學、數學和計算機科學的交匯處，形成了一個令人興奮的新研究領域，稱為「拓撲量子」。這個研究領域探討了結理論、特殊類型的亞原子粒子（稱為任何子）、某些物質相以及量子計算之間的深層聯繫。本書闡明了這一聯繫，涵蓋了從量子引力到拓撲學再到實驗凝聚態物理的主題。過去幾十年來，拓撲量子越來越成為凝聚態物理和量子信息領域的焦點，當前的研究前沿建立在本書所介紹的基本概念之上。材料以通俗易懂且有趣的方式呈現，遠比文獻中大多數內容更不抽象。在介紹關鍵概念並將其置於上下文中時，該主題的呈現並未依賴於該領域所基於的高度數學化的範疇理論。
本書僅需具備基本的量子力學背景，適合所有讀者，從高年級本科生到專業從業者。本書將吸引數學家、計算機科學家以及從事廣泛主題的物理學家。對於有意在這些領域工作的人來說，本書將是一本寶貴的入門書籍和重要的參考資料。
