Einstein s Struggles with Quantum Theory: A Re-Appraisal, presents an account of all aspects of Einstein s encounter with quantum theory. Until recently it was accepted that, after important early work, Einstein was simply unable to follow Niels Bohr s approach to quantum theory, and that Einstein s own views, centered on realism, were of no interest.

Ever since its discovery eighty-five years ago, quantum theory has been used to study the physical universe with great profit, both intellectual and financial.

It seems we may have to accept non-locality - cause and effect may be light-years apart; loss of realism - nature may be fundamentally probabilistic; and non-determinism - it seems that God does play dice This book, written by an expert in the field, explains the emergence of our new perspective on...
