Quantum-Mechanical Signal Processing and Spectral Analysis describes the novel application of quantum mechanical methods to signal processing across a range of interdisciplinary research fields. Conventionally, signal processing is viewed as an engineering discipline with its own specific scope, methods, concerns and priorities, not usually encompassing quantum mechanics. However, the dynamics of... Read more

"The special importance of this book, in my opinion, is that it links different investigations from various branches of science: physics, mathematics, chemistry, medicine, and numerical analysis. Moreover, the book also addresses similar problems from engineering. It is clearly shown that a number of phenomena that seemed not to be directly connected, actually are, and this realization is expected to spur progress in many areas. Most importantly, the applicability and superiority of the presented spectral methods are demonstrated. The book is superbly written, and it is self-contained, so that it can be treated as a fundamental source of information for researchers and students in a wide range of fields. Therefore, I strongly recommend this book to colleagues and students."

"The present book concerns one of the most beautiful and useful developments in mathematics. It takes the reader from the classical moment problem of Stieltjes via Pade's rational representations, using Hankel determinants and Frobenius normal forms, through the Krylov-Lanczos development to modern algorithmic techniques and codes. The deeper algebraic connections between signal processing and quantum mechanics are implicit and leaven important concrete applications typical of the interdisciplinary faculties of physics and medicine."
