‘Quantum World’ explores the fascinating realm where the rules of classical physics no longer apply: the quantum world. Delving into quantum mechanics, the book reveals how this theory underpins much of modern technology. Quantum phenomena like wave-particle duality and quantum entanglement are explored, demonstrating how particles can exist in multiple states simultaneously. The book emphasizes that understanding these principles is crucial for anyone wanting to understand the technologies shaping our future.
The book begins by tracing the historical development of quantum theory, from Max Planck’s revolutionary ideas to the groundbreaking experiments that revealed the dual nature of matter. It presents quantum mechanics as the most accurate description of the physical world at the atomic and subatomic levels. It connects quantum physics with other scientific disciplines, illustrating how quantum effects dictate the properties of chemical bonds and the behavior of materials at the nanoscale.
Structured to guide you through core concepts in a clear and logical manner, the book progresses from fundamental principles like quantization and superposition to their implications for atoms, molecules, and solids. It concludes by examining the applications of quantum mechanics in diverse fields, including quantum computing, quantum cryptography, and quantum materials. The approach demystifies complex mathematical formalism, making it accessible and intuitive for a broad audience.
