This one-of-a-kind introduction to the strange world of quantum mechanics by world-class physicist Leonard Susskind and data engineer Art Friedman is the ultimate master class in physics. In this brilliant follow-up to the international bestseller…
Why does one theory "succeed" while another, possibly clearer interpretation, fails? By exploring two observationally equivalent yet conceptually incompatible views of quantum mechanics, James T. Cushing shows how historical contingency can be…
The more science tells us about the world, the stranger it looks. When physics penetrated the atom early in this century, and gave us startling theories of what was going on in there, we found ourselves in a new world, the world of quantum mechanics,…
Quantum physics is believed to be the fundamental theory underlying our understanding of the physical universe. However, it is based on concepts and principles that have always been difficult to understand and controversial in their interpretation.…
This clearly explained layman's introduction to quantum physics is an accessible excursion into metaphysics and the meaning of reality. Herbert exposes the quantum world and the scientific and philosophical controversy about its interpretation.
This volume describes a new technology based on harnessing the irreducible uncertainty of the quantum world. Quantum technology manipulates nature at the most elementary level. The first chapter gives the essential principles of quantum mechanical…
If you are interested in the future prospects of the human race it is good to start with at least a modest understanding of the cosmic basics on which life is built and to that end Marcus Chown's book is a good place to start. It is Quantum Theory…
There are many excellent books on quantum theory from which one can learn to compute energy levels, transition rates, cross sections, etc. The theoretical rules given in these books are routinely used by physicists to compute observable quantities.…

De quantumtheorie confronteert ons met bizarre paradoxen die de logische opbouw van de klassieke natuurkunde verstoren. Op het niveau van de subatomen schijnt het ene deeltje precies te weten wat de andere doen, overeenkomstig de eigenschap…
