Schild's Ladder by Greg Egan is a hard science fiction novel set 20,000 years in the future, exploring themes of quantum mechanics, transhumanism, and the manipulation of matter at a quantum level. The story follows a research team divided into Preservationists and Yielders, dealing with the aftermath of an accident at the future equivalent of the Large Hadron Collider.
Illustrations for Schild's Ladder by Greg Egan. The need to satisfy Equation (6) is enough to determine C up to an overall factor. Specifically, the coordinates of C are the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients, which give the amplitudes for a two-particle state being found to have various values of total spin.. The evaluation of a spin network is found by multiplying together all the node amplitudes ...
Decoherence is a phenomenon that plays a role in many of the events in Schild’s Ladder.Beyond the novel, understanding decoherence is essential to understanding how classical physics emerges from quantum mechanics. The basic idea is this: a quantum system, A, in isolation, behaves in a characteristically quantum-mechanical fashion, exhibiting interference effects that reflect the phase ...
Schild's Ladder presents us with a world in which people barely recognizable as human, faced with a life and death crisis, argue passionately, in dense technical language, about physics that may or may not hold the key to the basis of our reality, and may or may not save them. Now ...
28 de feb. de 2018 · Schild's Ladder fait partie des romans de Greg Egan qui n'ont pas encore été traduits en Français. Soit que le travail de traduction soit complexe, soit qu'aucun éditeur n'ait à ce jour pris le risque de publier ce livre, dans les deux cas les réserves sont justifiées. C'est un livre que j'ai adoré, mais qu'il est difficile…
