Mark P. Silverman: Welcome

Welcome to the web site of Dr. Mark P. Silverman, Professor of Physics at Trinity College. I am a physicist whose scientific interests and contributions fall broadly in the areas of quantum physics, atomic & molecular physics, optics & electromagnetism, and gravitation. I am also a teacher who has developed humane and effective educational methods for teaching science at all levels of instruction. At this site you can find books and papers in which I discuss my scientific research and educational experiments.

Just released:

Quantum Superposition, from Springer.

If quantum physics interests you, read Quantum Superposition by Mark P Silverman to learn about:

The enigma of quantum interference and the “most beautiful experiment in physics”
Correlations and entanglements of quantum particles
Quantum boosts and quantum beats
Quantum systems, entropy, & information
Developments in electron interferometry
Role of symmetry in the laws of nature
Role of topology in the laws of nature
Forces, fields, and potentials
The quantum behaviour of circulating electrons
The quantum behaviour of left & right handed photons & electrons
Neutron stars, black holes, and the quantum stabilisation of collapsing stars

Quantum Superposition: An expert’s straight, clear, and accurate account of his science without the nonsense of “quantum cats”, “quantum chickens”, “infinitely multiplying universes”, “quantum consciousness”, violations of special relativity, or other mythical “quantum flapdoodle”.

I am available for lecturing on a variety of topics related to my research of which the following are some examples. Also, see Lectures for more details.
