Introduction to the Ideas of Quantum Theory
From Planck's Quantum of Action to the Discovery of Non-Locality
This introduction differs from other non-technical books on
Quantum Theory in several respects :
-
Although the mathematics is kept to a minimum, the discussion is geared to the educated public. Most accounts tend to be written far above or far below this level.
-
It maintains a high standard of prose writing
-
The theory's subtlety has not been compromised. On-going
controversies are given prominence.
-
This book may be used in classrooms to supplement standard
mathematical texts.
-
Its' bibliography provides an excellent resource for further
study.
-
Topics range from Planck's discovery of the quantum of
action in the 1900's, to the discovery and investigation, in the 90's,
of non-local phenomena with their applications to quantum computation.Quantum computing however is not covered in this book.
