"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

"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....

"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...

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...

Scientist Patrick Boardman was assigned to the Einstein Project in 1956, which proved to take a lifetime in discovering the answers to Quantum Theory and melding Physics with Philosophy to present the Unified Field Solution. This book defines Energy and Infinity in a mathematical adjunct to Einstein's work. The Big Bang of creation is described in vivid detail to end the debate on how and why we came into existence, as will as the answer to which...

For centuries, physics has been the cornerstone of our understanding of the natural world. From classical mechanics to quantum mechanics, physics has given us the tools to describe and predict the behavior of everything around us. But as our knowledge of the universe grows, we are forced to confront the limits of our current understanding.In "Beyond the Quantum World," we take a journey through cutting-edge research that is expanding the boundaries...

This monograph introduces advanced undergraduates and graduate students of physics to the "many-body" theory in theoretical physics. The treatment addresses problems and solutions related to nuclear and atomic physics, the electron theory of metals, and the theories of liquid helium three and four. A unified account of the field rather than a description of parallel methods, the text's main thematic approaches include the self-consistent field and...

Geared toward postgraduate students, theoretical physicists, and researchers, this advanced text explores the role of modern group-theoretical methods in quantum theory. The authors based their text on a physics course they taught at a prominent Soviet university. Readers will find it a lucid guide to group theory and matrix representations that develops concepts to the level required for applications. The text's main focus rests upon point and space...
