Description
Understanding the Quantum World Quantum mechanics has a reputation for being so complex that the word “quantum” has become a popular label for anything mysterious or unfathomable. In fact, quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories of reality ever discovered, explaining everything from the stability of atoms to the glow of neon lights, from the flow of electricity in metals to the functioning of the human eye. At the same time, quantum mechanics also has a mystical side, symbolized by the famous thought experiment concerning the fate of Schrödinger’s cat, a hypothetical cat that is both dead and alive in a quantum experiment proposed by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger. In Understanding the Quantum World, Purdue University professor Erica W. Carlson guides you through this fascinating subject, explaining the principles and paradoxes of quantum mechanics with extraordinary rigor and clarity – and using a minimum of mathematics. Winner of numerous teaching awards, Professor Carlson is renowned for her “superb ability to develop and apply tools that help students learn a challenging subject” – in the words of one of her admiring colleagues. With her guidance, anyone can gain a basic understanding of this broad field.
