What is Quantum Strangeness: Wrestling with Bell's Theorem and the Ultimate Nature of Reality (The MIT Press) about?
A physicist's efforts to understand the enigma that is quantum mechanics.'One of the finest books I have read on quantum mechanics: lucid and careful, but also entertaining, honest, and generous. George Greenstein doesn't pretend to give you the answers, but he does something more valuable: he reveals the right questions.'—Phillip Ball, author of Beyond Weird: Why Everything You Thought You knew About Quantum Physics is Different Astrophysicist George Greenstein has been both fascinated and confused by quantum mechanics for his entire career. In this book, he describes, engagingly and accessibly, his efforts to understand the enigma that is quantum mechanics. Even now, many years after the creation of quantum mechanics, physicists continue to argue about it. The fastest route to the insight into the ultimate nature of reality revealed by quantum mechanics, Greenstein writes, is through Bell's Theorem, which concerns reality at the quantum level. Bell's 1964 discovery drives Greenstein's quest. Greenstein recounts a scientific odyssey that begins with Einstein, continues with Bell, and culminates with today's push to develop an industry of quantum machines. Along the way, he discuss
