Alice in Quantumland: An Allegory of Quantum Physics Hardcover - 1995 - 1995th Edition

by Robert Gilmore

Follow the adventures of "Alice in Quantumland"--a whole new Wonderland smaller than an atom--where Alice's strange encounters explore and explain complicated components of quantum theory, including the Uncertainty Principle, wave functions, the Pauli Principle, and much more. 50 illus.


From the publisher

In this cleverly conceived book, physicist Robert Gilmore makes complex concepts in quantum mechanics accessible. Alice lands in Quantum land--a whole new Wonderland, smaller than an atom, where each attraction demonstrates a different aspect of quantum theory.

From the rear cover

You've heard about Alice's adventures through the looking glass. Well, Alice is about to embark on another amazing journey. She's going to shrink again - to the size of a nuclear particle - but she's not going down the rabbit hole. She's headed for Quantumland. And what is Quantumland? Think of it as an intellectual amusement park smaller than an atom, where every ride, game, and attraction demonstrates a different aspect of quantum mechanics - the often baffling, always intriguing theoretical framework that seems to provide the most accurate explanations of the way things are in the physical world. In this masterful blend of fantasy and science, Robert Gilmore uses the allegory of Alice's travels to make the uncertainty principle, Pauli's principle, high-energy particle physics, and other crucial parts of quantum theory accessible and exciting.
