Quantum Mechanics of Fundamental Systems: The Quest for Beauty and Simplicity Claudio Bunster Festschrift /

In life and work, Claudio Bunster (formerly Teitelboim) prefers extreme challenges. Bunster, a physicist who contemplates brain-warping theories of space and time, returned to his native Chile from the United States precisely when most intellectuals would have stayed clear- during the middle of the...
