Overview

The contributions to this volume are based on selected lectures from the first international workshop on decoherence, information, complexity and entropy (DICE). The aim of this volume is to reflect the growing importance ot common concepts behind seemingly different fields such as quantum mechanics, general relativity and statistical physics in a form accessible to nonspecialist researchers. Many presentations include original results which are published here for the first time.

Reviews

"""This book contains many fascinating thoughts on the junction of quantum mechanics, general relativity and statistical mechanics. The advantage one hopes from an interdisciplinary workshop is a pedagogical introduction. Since many of the contributors are not familiar with each others' work, they attempt to write in such a way that everyone can understand. I felt most of the authors adhered to this philosophy. It is also nice to see an index in a book of this type."" (Contemporary Physics 2005, 46, page 145-146)"
