by Daniel Golding (Author)
Is it possible for two objects to be in two places at once? Can cause and effect happen in reverse? Is time travel possible?
Believe it or not, it is possible: welcome to the Quantum World !
Unlike
other arguments, however, the real difficulty is not in understanding,
but in accepting something completely senseless, precisely in the right
meaning of the term: not sensible, that is, contrary to the perception
of our senses. You will notice that quantum mechanics is much "easier"
than the theory of relativity.
In fact, you could get a child to help you digest certain concepts. The
great difficulty does not lie in their complexity, but their absurdity
in terms of logic acquired after many years of existence in a world that
constantly follows certain rules . The more the brain is free of preconceptions and ingrained notions, the better it is.
You will learn:
What is interference ; The Double-Slit Experiment; Quantum wave function; Feynman's works ;The relation between waves and particles; The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle; How particles can be in multiple places at once; Quantum entanglement ; The Schrödinger's cat thought experiment; The Copenhagen interpretation and need for an observer; …and much more!
Quantum Physics
is at the basis of all the technological innovations of today, from
atomic energy to computer microelectronics, from digital clocks to
lasers, semiconductor systems, photoelectric cells, diagnostic and
treatment equipment for many diseases. In short, today we can live in a "modern" way thanks to Quantum Physics and its applications .
This
comprehensive beginner’s guide to quantum mechanics explains the most
important and stunning quantum experiments that show quantum physics is
real.
Are you ready? Let’s dive deep into the fascinating science of Quantum Physics .
Happy reading!
