中文简介:
这个物理领域最初被认为是固态物理,后来P.W.安德森创造了“凝聚态物理”这个术语,最近它与统计物理合并,形成了复杂系统的物理。复杂系统的研究是指在系统中有大量相互作用的部件的系统中,集合属性的紧急状态。这些元素可以是物理或生物背景下的原子或大分子,也可以是社会经济背景下的人、机器或公司。复杂性科学试图通过关注互联结构和系统的一般体系结构,而不是单个组件,来发现复杂系统的新兴行为的本质,这通常是传统方法看不到的。这是一种对科学形式的改变,而不是一门新的科学学科。传统科学是基于还原论的推理,如果知道系统的基本要素,就可以预测系统的行为和性质。然而,人们很容易认识到,对于一个细胞或社会经济动态来说,人们面临着一种新的情况,在这种情况下,个体部分的知识不足以描述结构的全球行为。我们可以把这种情况描述为对物质和自然体系结构的研究。它在某种程度上依赖于单个元素(砖块),但随后它显示了无法从这些元素派生的基本定律和特性。从最简单的物理系统开始,如秩序和无序竞争的临界现象,这些紧急行为可以在许多其他系统中识别,从生态学到免疫系统,再到社会行为和经济学。复杂性科学的目标是了解这些系统的特性。哪些规则控制他们的行为?他们如何适应不断变化的环境?他们如何有效地学习,如何优化自己的行为?复杂性科学的发展不能归结为单一的理论创新或技术创新,而是蕴含着一种具有巨大潜力的新的科学方法,对科学活动、社会、经济和技术产生深远的影响。
课程简介: This field of physics was originally identified as Solid state Physics, then P.W. Anderson coined the term Condensed Matter Physics and more recently it has merged with Statistical Physics to lead to the Physics of Complex Systems. The study of complex systems refers to the emergency of collective properties in systems with a large number of parts in interaction among them. These elements can be atoms or macromolecules in a physical or biological context, but also people, machines or companies in a socio-economic context. The science of complexity tries to discover the nature of the emerging behavior of complex systems, often invisible to the traditional approach, by focusing on the structure of the interconnections and the general architecture of systems, rather than on the individual components. It is a change of perspective in the forma mentis of scientists rather than a new scientific discipline. Traditional science is based on a reductionistic reasoning for which, if one knows the basic elements of a system, it is possible to predict its behavior and properties. It is easy to realize, however, that for a cell or for the socio-economic dynamics one faces a new situation in which the knowledge of the individual parts is not sufficient to describe the global behavior of the structure. We can represent this situation as the study of the architecture of matter and nature. It depends in some way from the individual elements (bricks) but then it shows fundamental laws and properties which cannot be derived from these elements. Starting from the simplest physical systems, like critical phenomena in which order and disorder compete, these emergent behaviors can be identified in many other systems, from ecology to the immunitary system, to the social behavior and economics. The science of complexity has the objective of understand the properties of these systems. Which rules govern their behavior? How they adapt to changing conditions? How they learn efficiently and how they optimize their behavior? The development of the science of complexity cannot be reduced to a single theoretical or technological innovation but it implies a novel scientific approach with enormous potentialities to influence deeply the scientific activities, social, economic and technological.
