Computers & Technology

Addison-Wesley

The PC hardware classic is back! 100,000 copies after its first publication, The Personal Computer from the Inside Out returns, completely revised, to teach you critical PC technologies and programming techniques. Every programmer needs to understand the hardware they're programming and how PC hardware and software interact. The Personal Computer from the Inside Out definitively explains just what programmers need to know about PC architectures and components, assembly language, and how PC systems manage and communicate data. Insightful and pragmatic, this book gives you a complete command of low-level PC operations and the technologies upon which current and future PC operating systems such as Windows 95(tm) will be based.  This third edition of The Personal Computer from the Inside Out teaches you how PCs actually operate, how they run programs, as well as what assembly language is and how computers process it.The book clearly and comprehensively explains: *Pentium and 80x86 microprocessor architectures *real and protected mode assembly language programming *advanced assembly language techniques such as macros, writing input/output *drivers, and coupling assembly language to C *motherboard system device operation *PC bus systems operation and standards *data communications *peripheral device operation and PC memory *how to interface a PC to switches, relays, A/D and D/A converters, motor controllers, servo systems, and other sensors. Loaded with practical programming techniques and working code you will use every day, The Personal Computer from the Inside Out, Third Edition, is a definitive new edition of one of the most successful books ever published on PC hardware and low-level operations. 0201626462B04062001

With a new chapter on quantum entanglement and quantum information, as well as added discussions of the quantum beam splitter, electromagnetically induced transparency, slow light and the input-output formalism, this fourth edition of the brilliant work on quantum optics has been much updated. It still gives a self-contained and broad coverage of the basic elements necessary to understand and carry out research in laser physics and quantum optics, including a review of basic quantum mechanics and pedagogical introductions to system-reservoir interactions and to second quantization. The text reveals the close connection between many seemingly unrelated topics, such as probe absorption, four-wave mixing, optical instabilities, resonance fluorescence and squeezing.
