Advances in Quantum Phenomena : Proceedings of an International Course Held in Erice, Sicily, February 16-18, 1994 (NATO Science Series B: Physics)

Papers from the 1994 meeting represent a broad review of contemporary experimental work on quantum phenomena, emphasizing state-of-the-art experimental science. Useful as an introductory manual for young researchers, the volume addresses topics that include: experiments with single and ultracold atoms; single electron transfer; interferometry; photonic bands and tunneling; Bell's inequalities; quantum cryptography and computation; quantum fluctuations; spontaneous localization and superconductivity; photon-photon correlations from single atoms; Einstein causality in inter-atom microcavity-confined transverse quantum; the Aharov-Bohm effect; and protective and weak measurements.
