Note: for the discounted black &white edition lookup https://www.amazon.com/dp/1090602596---------A comprehensive introduction to the scientific principles of a complex topic in which meaning and interpretation never cease to puzzle and surprise. An A-Z guide which is neither too advanced nor oversimplified and which is complete with figures and graphs that illustrate the deeper meaning of the concepts you are unlikely to find elsewhere. The weirdness and paradoxes of quantum physics are explained at an introductory level, from the first principles to modern state-of-the-art experiments. This is for the non-physicist autodidact who is looking for general knowledge about quantum physics, as it furnishes the most rigorous account that an (almost) non-mathematical exposition can provide. It will save you a ton of time in searching elsewhere, trying to piece together a variety of information. Instead of being ‘quantum physics for dummies’, this is a deeper account that not only summarizes the experiments but also discusses the philosophical arguments while remaining accessible to all. It’s a guide for all those who have always been attracted to the fascinating quantum reality and wanted to understand its principles, even if they are not physicists, but have found only either advanced university-level courses filled with complex mathematics or, alternatively, popular science texts that tried to connect with the reader at the cost of crude oversimplification. Considering how the media (and sometimes also physicists) present quantum theory by focusing only on highly dubious ideas and speculations backed by no evidence (or, worse, promote pseudo-scientific hype that falls into and out of fashion), this book fills a void: that of a serious introduction to the conceptual foundations of quantum physics, as it really is, that is accessible to all and yet does not treat readers like idiots.Moreover, one of the primary motivations of the author was to span an 'arch of knowledge' without giving in to the temptation of taking an excessively one-sided account of the subject. To that end, he has refrained from focusing too much on his personal preferences – something that otherwise would have spoiled the intention of making this a general introduction. It is instead, first and foremost, an effort to provide the reader with the widest possible background on all the basics that everyone interested in quantum physics should have. It is a primer that the public deserves.What is this strange thing called quantum physics? What is its impact on our understanding of the world? What is ‘reality’ according to quantum physics? This book addresses these and many other questions through a step-by-step journey into this very weird world. The central mystery of the double slit experiment and the wave-particle duality, the fuzzy world of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, the weird Schrödinger's cat paradox, the 'spooky action at a distance' of quantum entanglement, the EPR paradox and much more is explained, without neglecting such main contributors as Planck, Einstein, Bohr, Feynman and others who struggled themselves to come up with the mysterious quantum realm. This manual also takes a look at the experiments conducted in recent decades, such as the "which-way", "quantum-erasure" experiments.Additionally, because schools, colleges and universities teach quantum physics using a dry, mostly technical approach which furnishes only superficial insight into its foundations, this book is recommended to all those students and physicists who would like to look beyond the merely formal aspect and delve deeper into the meaning and essence of quantum mechanics.

Críticas

"An outstanding explanation of the meaning and mysteries of the quantum world. For both physicists and non-physicists alike, if you would like to get a better understanding of the meaning and mysteries of the quantum world that underlie the mathematics then you could not do better than this book. The author has taken particular care to explain the meaning and concepts without the complex mathematics but without oversimplification. An outstanding experience for anyone with a curiosity about what our perception of reality is built upon." - Mark Kelleher (CEO of the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems CRC)

"This MUST be your first book to enter into the quantum world. When it is about learning new things, make sure you enter through the right door to that new world. If the entry is wrong, anything you build on top of it will certainly be difficult or convoluted. This is THE best entry book to quantum world. This book has everything you need to get the true feeling of quantum world. Once you read it, you will feel how much effort the author has given to take you to the core of quantum theory without using any jargon at all. Read it and open your eyes to see the inner beauty of the nature." - Farhad Hussain (Amazon KDP review)

"This course is an EXCELLENT balance between being detailed enough to provide true insights and enlightenment while avoiding getting bogged down in complicated math. There are many sources on the Internet that will give you a shallow, paint-thin, surface introduction to quantum physics. And there are many textbooks at your local university/college, that will give you a math-intensive, head-spinning, fully-detailed discussion of quantum phenomena - and take you years to understand! As the author of this course states, his mission was to provide us with the rare opportunity to really delve deep into the Quantum world, without having to endure complex and painful, mathematical proofs. Well, having finished the entire course, plus reviewing the best parts again, I can confidently state that the author achieved his mission." - Robert W (Physicist reviewing the online course based on this book)

**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
