"A lucid account of quantum theory (and why you should care) combined with a gripping narrative." —San Francisco Chronicle
Quantum theory is weird. As Niels Bohr said, if you weren't shocked by quantum theory, you didn't really understand it. For most people, quantum theory is synonymous with mysterious, impenetrable science. And in fact for many years it was equally baffling for scientists themselves. In this tour

From V.E. Schwab, the critically acclaimed author of Vicious, comes a new universe of daring adventure, thrilling power, and parallel Londons, beginning with A Darker Shade of Magic. Kell is one of the last Travelers--magicians with a rare, coveted ability to travel between parallel universes--as such, he can choose where he lands. There's Grey London, dirty and boring, without any magic, ruled by a mad King George. Then there's Red London, where...

"One of the world's most renowned theoretical physicists, Carlo Rovelli has entranced millions of readers with his singular perspective on the cosmos. In Helgoland, Rovelli examines the enduring enigma of quantum theory. The quantum world Rovelli describes is as beautiful as it is unnerving. Helgoland is a treeless island in the North Sea where the 21-year-old Werner Heisenberg first developed quantum theory, setting off a century of scientific revolution....

Do we really know what time it is? Cern physicist Professor Brian Cox (and author of E=mc2) unlocks the secrets of time in this entertaining and informative program. His journey starts with the Sun, our historical dictator of time, but Brian discovers that the world doesn't always spin like clockwork in fact, it flutters, like an irregular heartbeat. In his search for a more reliable way to tell the time, he experiences the physical definition of...

"By an experimental physicist who works on the Large Hadron Collider, a mind-altering look at the foundational questions bedeviling modern physics, among them: Where does matter come from? Carl Sagan famously said, "If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe." But what fundamental matter is the universe made of? What banged in the Big Bang? And how did that matter arise from nothing into the world we now know?...

A brilliantly diverting and mind-expanding guide to quantum and particle physics.
At the start of the twentieth century, our knowledge of science appeared complete and it seemed that the laws of nature were almost all discovered, but then we woke a sleeping giant—we discovered quantum mechanics. In the quantum realm, objects can be in two places at once. It's a place where time travel is not only possible, but necessary. It's a place...

"We start wondering how to change the world when we see unfairness and injustice, we lack happiness and feel disappointed with someone else. Unfortunately most of us are turning the mind and attention towards the outer world, whilst the keys to our personal health and happiness are inside of us and they do not depend on anyone or anything else around us! You don't believe in that? In this book you will find the proofs, most of which are scientifically...

It only takes a small spark to ignite a child's mind! Written by an expert, Quantum Information for Babies is a colorfully simple introduction to the newest ideas in physics. Babies (and grownups!) will learn all about qubits (quantum bits) and why they are so different from, and more useful than, the regular bits of information stored on our computers today. With a tongue-in-cheek approach that adults will love, this installment in the Baby University...

This monograph is a multidisciplinary journey to the temporal world of science, technology and society. It is being presented as Advanced Knowledge Management System (AKMS). In its core is a 3D definition of TIME. The AKMS is the scientific foundation for everything, the technological base for any change, and societal base for understanding change, any change. The monograph's journey begins with a thought experiment that solves the longitude problem...

Suitable for advanced undergraduates, this thorough text focuses on the role of symmetry operations and the essentially algebraic structure of quantum-mechanical theory. Based on courses in quantum mechanics taught by the authors, the treatment provides numerous problems that require applications of theory and serve to supplement the textual material. Starting with a historical introduction to the origins of quantum theory, the book advances to discussions...
