- Summary:
- Today, quantum physics is everywhere: it explains how our computers work, how radios transmit sound and allows scientists to predict accurately the behavior of nearly every particle in nature. Its application led to the recent discovery of the Higgs Boson, and continues to be fundamental in the investigation of the broadest and most expansive questions related to our world and the universe. However, while the field and principles of quantum physics are known to have nearly limitless applications, the reasons why this is the case are far less understood. In 'Quantum Physics', Michael Raymer distills the basic principles of such an abstract field.
