| After completing his PhD in [[microlocal analysis]] at the University of Nice in 1978 under the supervision of [[Jacques Chazarain]], de Gosson soon became fascinated by [[Jean Leray]]'s [[Lagrangian analysis]]. Under Leray's tutorship de Gosson completed a Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches en Mathématiques at the University of Paris 6 (1992). During this period he specialized in the study of the [[Leray–Maslov index]] and in the theory of the [[metaplectic group]], and their applications to mathematical physics. In 1998 de Gosson met [[Basil Hiley]], who triggered his interest in conceptual question in [[quantum mechanics]]. Basil Hiley wrote a foreword to de Gosson's book ''The Principles of Newtonian and Quantum Mechanics'' (Imperial College Press, London).
| |
| After having spent several years in Sweden as Associate Professor and Professor in Sweden, de Gosson was appointed in 2006 at the Numerical Harmonic Analysis Group of the University of Vienna, created by [[Hans Georg Feichtinger]] (see www.nuhag.eu). He currently works in symplectic methods in harmonic analysis, and on conceptual questions in quantum mechanics, often in collaboration with Basil Hiley.<ref>University website, short biography – 2011 ([http://homepage.univie.ac.at/maurice.de.gosson/])</ref><ref>University website, Research section([http://homepage.univie.ac.at/maurice.de.gosson/research.htm])</ref>

| |
| | |
| Maurice de Gosson was the first to prove that [[Mikhail Leonidovich Gromov|Mikhail Gromov]]'s symplectic [[non-squeezing theorem]] (also called „the Principle of the Symplectic Camel“) allowed the derivation of a classical uncertainty principle formally totally similar to the [[Robertson–Schrödinger uncertainty relations]] (i.e. the [[Heisenberg inequalities]] in a stronger form where the covariances are taken into account).<ref>Reich, New Scientist – ([http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20126973.900-how-camels-could-explain-quantum-uncertainty.html]), 2009</ref> This rather unexpected result was discussed in the media.<ref name="www.newscientist.com">{{Cite web | last = Samuel Reich| first = Eugenie | title = How camels could explain quantum uncertainty | url = http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20126973.900-how-camels-could-explain-quantum-uncertainty.html | publisher = New Scientist | date = 26 February 2009 | accessdate = 18 December 2013 }}</ref>

| == Quantum blobs ==

| In 2004/2005,<ref>M. de Gosson (2004), Phys. Lett. A, vol. 330, pp. 161 ff., and M. de Gosson (2005), Bull. Sci. Math., vol. 129, pp. 211, both cited according to M. de Gosson (2005), ''Symplectically covariant Schrödinger equation in phase space'', ''Journal of Physics A, Mathematics and General'', vol. 38, pp. 9263-9287 (2005)</ref> de Gosson showed that Gromov's non-squeezing theorem allows a coarse graining of phase space by ''symplectic quantum cells'', each described by a mean momentum and a mean position. The cell is invariant under [[canonical transformation]]s. De Gosson called such a quantum cell a ''quantum blob'':
| |
| :The quantum blob is the image of a phase space ball with radius <math>\sqrt{ \hbar }</math> by a (linear) [[symplectic transformation]].<ref name="de-gosson-2004-0407129v1">Maurice A. de Gosson: ''On the goodness of "quantum blobs" in phase space quantization'', [http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0407129v1 arXiv:quant-ph/0407129v1], submitted 16 July 2004 (however, dated February 1, 2008)</ref>
| |
| and
| |
| :“Quantum blobs are the smallest phase space units of phase space compatible with the [[uncertainty principle]] of quantum mechanics and having the [[symplectic group]] as group of symmetries. Quantum blobs are in a bijective correspondence with the [[squeezed coherent states]] from standard quantum mechanics, of which they are a phase space picture.”<ref name="de-gosson-2011-quantum-blobs">Maurice A. de Gosson: ''Quantum blobs'', [http://arxiv.org/abs/1106.5468v1 http://arxiv.org/abs/1106.5468v1], submitted 27 June 2011</ref>
| |
| | |
| Their invariance property distinguishes de Gosson's quantum blobs from the "quantum cells" known in thermodynamics, which are units of phase space with a volume of the size of Planck's constant ''h'' to the power of 3.<ref>[http://www.freewebs.com/cvdegosson/thesymplecticcamel.htm The symplectic camel: the tip of an iceberg?], website of Maurice A. de Gosson, downloaded October 5, 2012</ref><ref>M.

| | |
| == Influence ==
| |
| | |
| De Gosson's notion of quantum blobs has given rise to a proposal for a new formulation of quantum mechanics, which is derived from postulates on quantum-blob-related limits to the extent and localization of quantum particles in phase space;<ref name="de-gosson-2011-quantum-blobs"/><ref>D. Dragoman: ''Phase Space Formulation of Quantum Mechanics. Insight into the Measurement Problem'', 2005 Physica Scripta, vol. 72, no. 2, pp. 290–295, {{DOI|10.1238/Physica.Regular.072a00290}}, [http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0402100 arXiv:quant-ph/0402100] submitted 16 February 2004</ref> this proposal is strengthened by the development of a phase space approach that applies to both quantum and classical physics, where a quantum-like evolution law for observables can be recovered from the classical Hamiltonian in a non-commutative phase space, where ''x'' and ''p'' are (non-commutative) c-numbers, not operators.<ref>D.

Whether you own a crumbling, century-old Victorian, in need of a complete overhaul or an 80s-era gem, that needs a new kitchen, most homes can benefit from a bit of home improvement. All at once or a little at a time, this article will show you how to keep costs down and get the home you desire.
It is wise to trim any branches that are overhanging your roof. In a storm they may break off, fall and spear your roof. In a snowstorm they will dump their load of snow, which may accumulate as ice. Also, falling leaves from these branches may accumulate and cause dampness on the roof, and clog the gutters.
When it comes to home improvement, be sure to promote the leaks at your house to the top of your priority list. This is important because leaks can be either dangerous, detrimental to the structure of your house, or to your pocketbook. Check all water pipes and fixtures for leaks on a regular basis. Install a CO2 detector in your house for gas leaks.
When inspecting a home you want to buy, look for signs of water damage such as rotting decks or chipped paint. There can be items like roof defects, electrical problems, poor ventilation, structural damage, etc. that only experienced inspectors can spot. Invest money upfront when you purchase a home, so that you don't have to spend a lot on repairs in the future.
When it comes to home improvement, small additions such as power strips and surge protectors can be extremely beneficial. Power strips allow for you to easily turn off groups of electronics, saving money on energy. Most surge protectors will protect your electronics from lightning strikes and power surges.
Remodel your closet by using closet organizer kits. These kits are designed to maximize usable space in your closet. A basic kit usually comes with a closet rod and enough components to give you multiple shelves that you can adjust. Additional components can be purchased to customize your closet even more. This is a great way to add storage space in your home without a major remodel.
When deciding what exterior renovations a home needs to make it saleable, step out to the curb and take a picture. The picture on your listing is the first exposure any potential buyers will have to your home. If your picture shows a dingy house with overgrown landscaping, fix it!
When you replace old equipment during a home improvement project, always try to get the most energy-efficient replacements you can afford. In many cases, a slight extra expenditure gets you appliances or building materials, that are far more efficient than the bargain-basement options. These little extra outlays will be quickly offset by reduced energy and heating bills.
If one of the to-dos on your list of home improvements is remodeling your bathroom, consider planning and building one that is handicap accessible. It is not necessary to completely convert the facilities right away, but making advance preparations is smart if you plan to spend your golden years in the house. If you put your home on the market, these modifications will increase its market value.
Few realize just how easy it is to install a new light fixture in homes that were built within the last ten years ago. Most overhead lights now include all the wires and screws needed; in most cases the only wiring required is to connect the circuit box of the new fixture to the wires in your ceiling. Look for everything-included kits, which are designed for the average homeowner and include useful resources to help you through the process.
By installing crown molding, you will be updating your home with a crisp and fresh look that is surprisingly high-impact. At just over a dollar per square foot, you can splurge on molding that complements your window trim, flooring and baseboards. This look is timeless and easily adds value to your home, even after many years.
If your home was built in the seventies or earlier, chances are good that it was built with only a very thin layer of insulation throughout the entire structure. Ideally, the layer should be approximately 27 centimeters or 10.5 inches thick. By increasing the thickness of insulation to the recommended four to six inches, you could easily save a couple of hundred dollars per year.
One of the easiest improvements you can make to your dining room is by installing a dimmer light switch. This allows you to adjust the levels of lighting according to the desired atmosphere of your dining experience; dim the light for a soft, romantic dinner for two, or brighten the room for a festive holiday dinner.
Home improvement does not need to put you in the poor house. With a bit of know how and a bit of sweat, you can fix up your home without breaking the bank. Follow the tips outlined in this article and start the journey towards the home of your dreams.
