Opis

This is a book about the quanta that make up our universe-the highly unified bundles of energy of which everything is made. It explains wave-particle duality, randomness, quantum states, non-locality, Schrodinger's cat, quantum jumps, and more, in everyday language for non-scientists and scientists who wish to fathom science's most fundamental theory.

Recenzje

Tales of the Quantum -- a slim volume very handsomely produced by Oxford U.P. -- is his most ambitious undertaking, the capstone of a distinguished career. ... This is certainly an ambitious book, one in which the author has clearly invested a great deal of thought. It is, in its eccentric way, an important book, not least because it is so provocative.
