Yakir Aharonov is one of the leading figures in the foundations
of quantum physics. His contributions range from the celebrated
Aharonov-Bohm effect (1959), to the more recent theory of weak
measurements (whose experimental confirmations were recently ranked
as the two most important results of physics in 2011). This volume
will contain 27 original articles, contributed by the most
important names in quantum physics, in honor of Aharonov's 80-th
birthday.
Sections include "Quantum mechanics and reality," with
contributions from Nobel Laureates David Gross and Sir Anthony
Leggett and Yakir Aharonov, S. Popescu and J. Tollaksen; "Building
blocks of Nature" with contributions from Francois Englert
(co-proposer of the scalar boson along with Peter Higgs); "Time and
Cosmology" with contributions from Leonard Susskind, P.C.W. Davies
and James Hartle; "Universe as a Wavefunction," with contributions
from Phil Pearle, Sean Carroll and David Albert; "Nonlocality,"
with contributions from Nicolas Gisin, Daniel Rohrlich, Ray Chiao
and Lev Vaidman; and finishing with multiple sections on weak
values with contributions from A. Jordan, A. Botero, A.D. Parks, L.
Johansen, F. Colombo, I. Sabadini, D.C. Struppa, M.V. Berry, B.
Reznik, N. Turok, G.A.D. Briggs, Y. Gefen, P. Kwiat, and A. Pines,
among others."
