Descriere

Introducing Quantum Theory offers a step-by-step tour of a notoriously difficult subject, tackling the puzzle of wave duality and the famous questions raised by Bohr's Copenhagen Interpretation. nQuantum theory is one of science's most thrilling, challenging and even mysterious areas. Scientists such as Planck, Einstein, Bohr, Heisenberg and Schrödinger uncovered bizarre paradoxes in the early 20th century that seemed to destroy the fundamental assumptions of 'classical physics' - the basic laws we are taught in school. Notoriously difficult, quantum theory is nonetheless an amazing and inspiring intellectual adventure, explained here with patience, wit and clarity.
