Tribute to an emblematic physicist.

This book is a tribute to Akira Tonomura, a prominent physicist and electron microscopist whose contributions in the field of fundamental physics were noteworthy. It includes contributions from celebrated physicists such as Chen Ning Yang, Masahito Ueda, and others. The book highlights Dr. Tonomura's dedication to science and the FIRST Tonomura Project, which aims to develop the 1.2 MV holographic electron microscope capable of observing quantum phenomena in the microscopic world. The book is recommended for readers who are interested in the field of physics and electron microscopy, and for those who want to know more about the remarkable legacy of Dr. Tonomura.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

This book is good as new — lucky you!

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Books in Very Good Condition

This book has been used, but it is still in a clean condition. There should be no foxing or annotations of any kind on the inner pages, but a sparse amount may be present on the cover, title pages, or outside edges of the book. There should be no water damage of any kind. For paperbacks, there may be light crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Books in Good Condition

We do our best to ensure the quality of our books, but there is no escaping the wear and tear that comes with time. Slight foxing and some annotations may be present on the pages and the cover. There should be no water damage of any kind. For paperbacks, there may be several crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Books in Well Read Condition

This is a well-read book, which means that the previous owner probably really enjoyed it! The cover and pages may include moderate foxing and annotations, but the text is not obscured and still readable. Moderate cosmetic defects and minor water damage may be present on the edges of the book. For paperbacks, there may be multiple crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Description

This memorial volume in honor of Dr Akira Tonomura is to commemorate his
enormous contributions to fundamental physics in addition to the basic
technology of electron microscopy. Dr Tonomura passed away on May 2, 2012
at the age of 70. He was Fellow of Hitachi, Ltd., Group Director of Single
Quantum Dynamics Research Group of RIKEN, Principal Investigator of the
FIRST Tonomura Project, and Professor of Okinawa Institute of Science and
Technology Graduate University. The book consists of: 1) contributions from
distinguished physicists, who participated in the "Tonomura FIRST
International Symposium on Electron Microscopy and Gauge Fields" planned by
Tonomura himself and held in Tokyo on May 9 10, 2012, and 2) reprints of
key papers by Tonomura and his team. Invited speakers at this Symposium
include Chen Ning Yang and other distinguished physicists such as Yakir
Aharonov, Gordon Baym, Christian Colliex, Anthony J Leggett, Naoto Nagaosa,
Nobuyuki Osakabe and Masahito Ueda. This "memorial" Symposium was
originally planned to commemorate the start of the Japanese-government-
sponsored FIRST Tonomura Project to construct the 1.2 MV holography
electron microscope capable of observing quantum phenomena in the
microscopic world. In addition, the book includes contributions from
participants of the past ISQM-Tokyo symposia held at Hitachi and from
Tonomura's longtime friends, including Michael Berry, Jerome Friedman,
Hidetoshi Fukuyama, Joseph Imry, Yoshinori Tokura, Jaw-Shen Tsai, and Anton
Zeilinger. The co-editors are Kazuo Fujikawa, Tonomura's longtime friend,
and Yoshimasa A Ono who is Tonomura's associate at Hitachi Advanced
Research Laboratory and now in the FIRST Tonomura Project.
