Looking at Time from a Physics PerspectiveAuthor(s): Patricio Robles\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Apple Academic Press Inc., Canada\nImprint: Apple Academic Press Inc.\nISBN-13: 9781774914625, 978-1774914625\nSynopsis\nThe subject of time continues to be a subject of extensive research in the development of new theories of physics. This new volume is addressed to students who are starting a graduate program in physics or electrical engineering interested in complementing their studies of relativity theory and quantum physics, applying the knowledge they have acquired about these themes to the analysis of situations where the issue of time measurement is relevant. This is the case, for example, of clock synchronization, transit times of optical signals through dielectric and absorbing media, lifetimes of excited atomic states, among others. These topics, in addition to being of great importance to theoretical physicists, are the basis of many technological developments. For example, .
