Inhaltsangabe

Quantum, written by Hugo Wells, is the 17-th instalment in The Alphabets of Science non-fiction series. Accessible and maths-free, this beginner-friendly volume unlocks the counter-intuitive, mind-bending realm of quantum physics for general readers.

Opening with the weird behaviours of tiny particles, it traces quantum theory's birth through Planck, Einstein and Bohr. It unpacks landmark concepts: wave-particle duality, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, superposition, Schrödinger's famous cat thought-experiment, "spooky" quantum entanglement and quantum tunnelling. Wells connects abstract ideas to real-world tech including lasers, MRI scanners, GPS and semiconductors, then explores cutting-edge advances such as quantum computing and quantum teleportation.

The book surveys competing quantum interpretations, touches on debates over consciousness, and previews tomorrow's quantum-driven innovations. With clear chapters, quick "Hedgehog's Fact" snippets and a helpful glossary, it balances scientific accuracy with wonder, inviting readers to rethink reality at subatomic scales.
