Exploring the Quantum: Atoms, Cavities, and Photons (Oxford Graduate Texts) by Oxford University Press, USA $99.00
The counter-intuitive aspects of quantum physics have been for long illustrated by thought experiments, from Einstein's photon box to Schr�dinger's cat. These experiments have now become real, with single particles--electrons, atoms or photons--directly unveiling the weird features of the quantum. State superpositions, entanglement and complementarity define a novel quantum logic which can...
