Kurzbeschreibung
Quantum theory confronts us with bizarre paradoxes which contradict the logic of classical physics. At the subatomic level, one particle seems to know what the others are doing, and according to Heisenberg's "uncertainty principle", there is a limit on how accurately nature can be observed. And yet the theory is amazingly accurate and widely applied, explaining all of chemistry and most of physics. "Introducing Quantum Theory" takes us on a step-by-step tour with the key figures, including Planck, Einstein, Bohr, Heisenberg and Schrodinger. Each contributed at least one crucial concept to the theory. The puzzle of the wave-particle duality is here, along with descriptions of the two questions raised against Bohr's "Copenhagen Interpretation" - the famous "dead and alive cat" and the EPR paradox. Both remain unresolved.

Format:Taschenbuch
"Understanding Quantum Theory" was the first text that we turned to in a course I took last semester, which studied the philosophical implications of quantum theories... the logic, I imagine, was that complex and counter-intuitive concepts would be more palatable in faux-comic-book form...
I'm afraid this didn't turn out to be the case, While the illustrations are fantastic -- reminiscent of ink-heavy works such as Art Spiegelman's incredible "Maus" -- the concepts are no easier to grasp. The illustrations could have been used to better ends if the authors had a better idea of what makes these concepts so hard for beginners -- diagrams, when included, might have been more artistic than flat scientific sketches, but they were just as hard to interpret. The illustrations here are used, it seems, to trick the reader into thinking the concepts are simple and straightforward. The result, however, is that you (or I, at least) end up scratching your head and reading dialogue-bubbles which don't make sense in the least until the fifth or sixth reading... and even then, are often impossible to understand without a live discussion and Q & A.
Which is not to say that this text is a failure -- put aside what it was TRYING to do, and it is still a solid outline of basic quantum theory, and a good introduction to the major figures and developments in the field. The art might not make the material more accessible, but it doesn't hurt it either -- helpful or no, the illustrations make the lessons a more entertaining challenge than straight text would ever be.
BOTTOM LINE -- it's a good outline of basic quantum theories, developments, and figures. The art makes it pleasant to look at, but no less confusing to the beginner. If you're curious about the ideas involved in a radical reinterpretation of time, space, and matter as we interact with them, this is not a bad place to start.

Format:Taschenbuch
This was certainly a fun book to read. The illustation and simple language made the book interesting, if not completely understandable. HOWEVER, if you're looking for a comprehensive explaination of one of the most perplexing scientific schools of thought, this is not your book. It only whet my whistle before I read "Alice in Quantumland" and "In Search of Schrodinger's Cat."
Format:Taschenbuch
I'm afraid I disagree with the other reviewers. The book was not well written. The illustrations were of marginal value -- I guess it's always nice to know what these guys look like. Most troublesome to me, however, was the manner in which the explanations were utterly substandard. If you are looking to understand the material -- as opposed to merely becoming familiar with the names and faces of those whose work you want to understand -- you're much, much better off the the Gribbon or the David Albert book.

Good review of a tough subject
I went through the ordeal of getting a PhD in Physics many years ago; like most students of physics, I spent a lot of time diagonalizing Hamiltonians and finding eigenvalues, and... Lesen Sie weiter...

A fun history and theories of Quantum Physics
I can say off the bat that I had trouble with this book. Although I learned about Schrodinger, Bohr, Heisenberg, Einstein, Newton, Plank, Dirac, Born as well as their theories, I... Lesen Sie weiter...
