Econophysics of Markets and Business Networks

Econophysicists have lately been particularly winning in modelling and analysing a variety of monetary structures like buying and selling, banking, inventory and different markets. The statistical behaviour of the underlying networks in those platforms have additionally been pointed out and characterized lately. This ebook reports the present econophysics researches within the constitution and functioning of those complicated monetary community platforms.

Atomic structure and interactions have also been measured much more accurately than before using such cooled and trapped samples. A special case has been the atomic clock, a device using the structure of the atom to define the second precisely (see sidebar “Atomic Clocks”). The world’s most precise clocks now use cesium fountains, in which samples of ultracold cesium atoms are launched upward. As the atoms ascend and then fall back to the source, the clock transition is measured with an inaccuracy of only 2 parts in 1015 (7 millionths of a second in a century).

This is the scale at which the binding together of protons and neutrons, the hard core of an atom, is salient. Nuclear physics deals with the dynamics of the core itself, how quantum mechanics can be applied to it, how its parts undertake certain collective motions up to and including fission.

All rights reserved. html 1 Quantum Manipulation and New Materials The world of quantum mechanics, although strange and beautiful, seems remote from daily experience. Yet the physicist sees quantum mechanics in action all around us, in everything from the hardness of diamond to the colors of the rainbow. The central role that quantum mechanics plays in modern technology—from the lasers that read music from compact disks to the Global Positioning System (GPS) that guides aircraft through our crowded skies—remains largely unknown to users of these devices.
