I'm searching informations about the Gauge simmetries and their application in physics; where can i search in internet and where on books? thanks for answers
But any modern quantum field theory book (written since the 80's) should give you a basic introduction.
Are you interested in generalities, application to particle/field theory, application to condensed matter, application to ecconomics, realtionship to topology and index theory?

gauge symmetry in fields theory
thanx to styr for his links. I'm especially interested in gauge simm in fields theory; if you know particular links about this argument please post them. moreover I've found this interesting link in internet
http://www-itp.physik.uni-karlsruhe.de/~obr/bookmarks.html (section simmetries > gauge) where publications and articles can be downloaded. thanks again.
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles.
Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
According to recent podcast between Jacob Barandes and Sean Carroll, Barandes claims that putting a sensitive qubit near one of the slits of a double slit interference experiment is sufficient to break the interference pattern. Here are his words from the official transcript:
Is that true?
Caveats I see:
The qubit is a quantum object, so if the particle was in a superposition of up and down, the qubit can be in a superposition too. Measuring the qubit in an orthogonal direction might...
