Abstract
This book presents information on the following topics: the approach to thermodynamic equilibrium (and other stationary states); physics as a meaning circuit; predictive statistical mechanics; bifurcation geometry in physics; quantum distribution functions in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics; positive and negative joint quantum distributions; three lectures on the foundations of quantum theory and quantum electrodynamics; how to make quantum mechanics look like a hidden-variable theory and vice versa; a classical model of EPR experiment with quantum mechanical correlations and Bell inequalities; reduction of the wavepacket; Maxwell's Demon, Szilard's engine and quantum measurements; experimental tests of Bell's inequalities with pairs of low energy correlated photons; a general nonlinear evolution equation for irreversible conservative approach to stable equilibrium; equation of motion for correlation function of strongly-coupled plasma; the one-atom maser; squeezed states; symmetry breaking in nonlinear optics; entropy, information and quantum geometry; phase transitions in nonequilibrium systems: dye lasers and lasers with saturable absorbers; and nonequilibrium phenomena at incommensurate phase transitions.
