The Quantum Menagerie

<p>Understanding quantum mechanics matters because it is the engine that powers the universe. This engine is fuelled by a few simple principles but the consequences of those principles are both profound and strange. In this richly illustrated book quantum mechanics is explained using a finely balanced combination of words diagrams and mathematics. The result is a tour of the most intriguing aspects of quantum mechanics including Einstein's `spooky action at a distance' Bell's inequality Schroedinger's cat Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and de Broglie's matter waves. Supported by a comprehensive Glossary Further Readings and tutorial appendices this is an ideal introduction to the mathematics of quantum mechanics.</p>
