The third edition of this successful textbook has been redesigned to reflect the progress of the field in the last decade, including the latest studies of the Higgs boson, quark-gluon plasma, progress in flavour and neutrino physics and the discovery of gravitational waves. It provides...

The present article discuses the problems of new Unitary Quantum Theory in its applications to the different aspects of the reality. There are spectacular examples of such applications.

The dynamics of an entangled state interacting with a single cavity mode is investigated in the presence of a random parameter. We show that the degree of entanglement decays with time and that the rate of decay is defined by features of a random parameter. Quantum teleportation through a...

We investigate the role of the cross decay rates (environment-assisted effective coupling) in a system composed by two electromagnetic modes interacting with the same reservoir. Two feasible experiments sensitive to the magnitudes and phases of these rates are described. We show that if the...

We give a detailed account of the derivation of a master equation for two-coupled cavities in the presence of dissipation. The analytical solution is presented and physical limits of interest are discussed. Firstly, we show that the decay rate of initial coherent states can be significantly...

Some reflections about open problems in statistical mechanics are offered on the occasion of the award of the IUPAP Boltzmann medal.
