Quantum Physics - Johnson, Maurice

. .

Résumé :
This book is a journey through space and time, to discover something new and extraordinary: quantum physics, its logic, its potential, its applications and its possible developments. The volume explains the crucial moments of quantum thought, the questions on which the most outstanding scientists of the last decades have been wondering, and the different contexts in which the main models of quantum mechanics have evolved step by step. Against the background of the most current research, the relationships between quantum physics, einsteinian relativity, and string theory are also investigated. Inside the book, you will find:The basics and history of quantum physics. You will meet the greatest scientists who helped make it wonderful and mysterious. Quantum computing. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. Quantum entanglement. The fifth force of nature. What are black holes and paradoxes? It avoids the complicated math and jumps right into all the implications, thought experiments, paradoxes, and concepts which make quantum physics so intriguing to people out there. Quantum physics might sound like the type of topic you do not like to touch for a simple read before you go to sleep. No one would blame you for that. Honestly, quantum physics is loaded with deals and paradoxes in the concept of paradox itself as its core engine....
