Simply Quantum Physics

Gerhard, Karyn, (editor.). DK Publishing, Inc. (Added Author).

Summary: "A clear, simple, graphic-led introduction to quantum physics. Are you short of time but hungry for knowledge? This beginner's quantum physics book proves that sometimes less is more. Bold graphics and easy-to-understand explanations make it the most accessible guide to quantum physics on the market. This smart but powerful guide cuts through the jargon and gives you the facts in a clear, visual way. Step inside the strange and fascinating world of subatomic physics that at times seems to conflict with common sense. Unlock the mysteries of more than 100 key ideas, from quantum mechanics basics to the uncertainty principle and quantum tunneling. Each pared-back, single-page entry demystifies the groundbreaking ideas in modern science. From Schrödinger's Cat and quantum teleportation to atoms and gravity, Simply Quantum Physics is the ultimate jargon-free overview of the subject. This illuminating reference book introduces you to the greatest physicists of the 20th and 21st centuries, such as Albert Einstein, Neils Bohr, Erwin Schrödinger, Richard Feynman, and more!
