Quantum Mechanics
Made Clear
In its relatively short history, quantum mechanics has radically changed
our perspective on reality and has come to play a critical role in today’s
most important technologies. Now, discover astonishing insights into
this remarkable field with Quantum Mechanics: The Physics of the
Microscopic World.
Award-winning Professor Benjamin Schumacher—a founder of quantum
information theory and a fellow of the American Physical Society—
introduces you to the complex phenomena of quantum mechanics in a way
that is both enlightening and easily accessible. Generously illustrated with
diagrams, demonstrations, and experiments, these 24 fascinating lectures
are a great way to master the secrets of this extraordinary discipline.
