Genre: Science - Quantum Theory
From Schrodinger's cat to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, this book untangles the weirdness of the quantum world.Quantum mechanics underpins modern science and provides us with a blueprint for reality itself. And yet it has been said that if you're not shocked by it, you don't understand it. But is quantum physics really so unknowable? Is reality really so strange? And just how can cats be half-alive and half-dead at the same time?Our journey into the quantum begins with nature's own conjuring trick, in which we discover that atoms -- contrary to the rules of everyday experience -- can exist in two locations at once. To understand this we travel back to the dawn of the twentieth century and witness the birth of quantum theory, which over the next one hundred years was to overthrow so many of our deeply held notions about the nature of our universe. Scientists and philosophers have been left grappling with its implications every since.Read by Hugh Kermode(p) 2016 Orion Publishing Group
Quantum mechanics is widely considered to be the scientific theory that is one's best choice for the fundamental and universal explanation of the physical world. The conceptual structure used in this theory varies dramatically from that of classical...
There are many fine scripts of quantum chemistry and physics in print at this time. So the question can be raised as to why we would write another script, especially one focusing on the smaller discipline of quantum chemistry. When we began this pro...
Scientists from Australia have found the smallest of the transistors recently. It is made by deliberately placing two atoms so closely. Then the university of Cambridge invention of the entangled LEDs is another revolutionary finding in the recent t...
From all the sides you are surrounded completely by scientific inventions which came into being due to the theories discovered by scientists a long time ago. Science, however, is a vast topic which is further divided into several prances of which on...
?? Are you looking for the truth about quantum physics? ??Do you feel like quantum physics is intangible, unintelligible and unattainable? If you’ve answered yes to the above questions, then you are definitely in the right place and holding th...
Have you always wanted to understand Quantum Theory, but was afraid of the math?Relax. I have written this book so that you can understand the theory without all the hard to understand equations and science speak.Once you understand quantum mechanic...
Quantum theory is the most revolutionary discovery in physics since Newton. This book gives a lucid, exciting, and accessible account of the surprising and counterintuitive ideas that shape our understanding of the sub-atomic world. It does not disg...
Have you ever wondered where we come from—like where we really come from and what we are made of? Have you ever wondered if, let’s say, teleportation is possible, or if we will ever learn more about the Universe than we already do? Have ...
The history of quantum physics can never be complete without a cursory look at the diverse works of various scientists, both in the field of quantum physics and quantum chemistry. The early twentieth century marked the origin of the quantum phy...
