EPR test with photons and kaons: Analogies
We present a unified formalism describing the Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen test using spin particles, photons, and kaons. This facilitates the comparison with existing experiments using photons ...

This Resource Letter provides a guide to the literature on critical point phenomena and phase transitions. Journal articles and books are cited for the following topics: continuous phase transitions, critical points, model systems with special attention to the Ising model and the Kosterlitz–Thouless transition, mean-field theory, computer simulation methods, scaling, universality, and the renormalization group. ©2001 American Association of Physics Teachers.
