The Pursuit of Quantum Gravity, 2011 Memoirs of Bryce DeWitt from 1946 to 2004

Langue : Anglais

Auteur :

Couverture de l’ouvrage The Pursuit of Quantum Gravity
1946 is the year Bryce DeWitt entered Harvard graduate school. Quantum Gravity was his goal and remained his goal throughout his lifetime until the very end. The pursuit of Quantum Gravity requires a profound understanding of Quantum Physics and Gravitation Physics. As G. A. Vilkovisky commented , "Quantum Gravity is a combination of two words, and one should know both. Bryce understood this as nobody else, and this wisdom is completely unknown to many authors of the flux of papers that we see nowadays."

Distingished physicist Cecile DeWitt-Morette skillfully blends her personal and scientific account with a wealth of her late husband's often unpublished writings on the subject matter.

This volume, through the perspective of the leading researcher on quantum gravity of his generation, will provide an invaluable source of reference for anyone working in the field.

I. Progress in Quantum Physics since the Lamb Shift calculations.- II. Progress in Gravitation since Black Holes came to preeminence.- III. Bryce DeWitt’s Pursuit of Quantum Gravity.- IV. Bibliography.

This volume, through the perspective of the leading researcher on quantum gravity of his generation, provides a unique source of reference for anyone working in the field.

Gives a unique historical perspective on the early days and the development of quantum gravity.

Contains little known or unpublished material from personal archives.

Written by an eminent and well-respected researcher (American Society of the French Legion of Honor 2007 Medal for Distinguished Achievement)
