Orders in Nature: From Quantum to Classical

  • Chapter
Symmetries in Science

Abstract

In this lecture a brief summary of a theory providing for the deviation of quantum ordered states and for the creation of classically or quantum mechanically behaving macroscopic objects in these ordered states is presented. This theory is called the boson theory. Its practical applications are also mentioned.
