Claus Kiefer

Quantum Gravity

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of relativity are at the centre of modern theoretical physics, yet, the consistent unification of both theories is still elusive. This book offers an up-to-date introduction into the attempts to construct a unified theory of "quantum gravity".
