Permeated by the author's delightful humor this little book explains with nearly no mathematics the main conceptual issues associated with quantum mechanics The issue of determinism Does quantum mechanics signify the end of a deterministic word-view? The role of the human subject or of the observer in science Since Copernicus science has increasingly tended to dethrone Man from his formerly held special position in the Universe But quantum mechanics with its emphasis on the notion of observation may once more have given a central role to the human subject The issue of locality Does quantum mechanics imply that instantaneous actions at a distance exist in Nature? In these pages the author offers a variety of views & answers
- bad as well as good
- to these questions The reader will be both entertained & enlightened by Jean Bricmont's clear & incisive arguments

This textbook presents a concise yet detailed introduction to quantum physics Concise because it condenses the essentials to a few principles Detailed because these few principles
- necessarily rather abstract
- are illustrated by several telling examples A fairly complete overview of the conventional quantum mechanics curriculum is the primary focus but the huge field of statistical thermodynamics is covered as well The text explains why a few key discoveries shattered the prevailing broadly accepted classical view of physics First matter appears to consist of particles which when propagating resemble waves Consequently some observable properties cannot be measured simultaneously with arbitrary precision Second events with single particles are not determined but are more or less probable The essence of this is that the observable properties of a physical system are to be represented by non-commuting mathematical objects instead of real numbers Chapters on exceptionally simple but highly instructive examples illustrate this abstract formulation of quantum physics The simplest atoms ions & molecules are explained describing their interaction with electromagnetic radiation as well as the scattering of particles A short introduction to many particle physics with an outlook on quantum fields follows There is a chapter on maximally mixed states of very large systems that is statistical thermodynamics The following chapter on the linear response to perturbations provides a link to the material equations of continuum physics Mathematical details which would hinder the flow of the main text have been deferred to an appendix The book addresses university students of physics & related fields It will attract graduate students & professionals in particular who wish to systematize or refresh their knowledge of quantum physics when studying specialized texts on solid state & materials physics advanced optics & other modern fields

' This is about gob-smacking science at the far end of reason Take it nice & easy & savour the experience of your mind being blown without recourse to hallucinogens' Nicholas Lezard Guardian For most people quantum theory is a byword for mysterious impenetrable science & yet for many years it was equally baffling for scientists themselves In this magisterial book Manjit Kumar gives a dramatic & superbly-written history of this fundamental scientific revolution & the divisive debate at its core Quantum theory looks at the very building blocks of our world the particles & processes without which it could not exist Yet for 60 years most physicists believed that quantum theory denied the very existence of reality itself In this tour de force of science history Manjit Kumar shows how the golden age of physics ignited the greatest intellectual debate of the twentieth century Quantum theory is weird In 1905 Albert Einstein suggested that light was a particle not a wave defying a century of experiments Werner Heisenberg's uncertainty principle & Erwin Schrodinger's famous dead-&-alive cat are similarly strange As Niels Bohr said if you weren't shocked by quantum theory you didn't really understand it While Quantum sets the science in the context of the great upheavals of the modern age Kumar's centrepiece is the conflict between Einstein & Bohr over the nature of reality & the soul of science ' Bohr brainwashed a whole generation of physicists into believing that the problem had been solved' lamented the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Murray Gell-Mann But in Quantum Kumar brings Einstein back to the centre of the quantum debate Quantum is the essential read for anyone fascinated by this complex & thrilling story & by the band of brilliant men at its heart ...

Quantum Theory From First Principles: An Informational Approach By
Giulio Chiribella, Paolo Perinotti, Giacomo Mauro D'Ariano...

Quantum theory is the soul of theoretical physics It is not just a theory of specific physical systems but rather a new framework with universal applicability This book shows how we can reconstruct the theory from six information-theoretical principles by rebuilding the quantum rules from the bottom up Step by step the reader will learn how to master the counterintuitive aspects of the quantum world and how to efficiently reconstruct quantum information protocols from first principles Using intuitive graphical notation to represent equations and with shorter and more efficient derivations the theory can be understood and assimilated with exceptional ease Offering a radically new perspective on the field the book contains an efficient course of quantum theory and quantum information for
undergraduates The book is aimed at researchers professionals and students in physics computer science and philosophy as well as the curious outsider seeking a deeper understanding of the theory
