Quantum physics is the most fundamental branch of science. Allowing for dead-and-alive cats, teleportation, antimatter and parallel universes, as well as underpinning all of our digital technology, it is as important as it is mind-bending. In this clear and compact book, Gemma Lavender demystifies the strange and beautiful quantum world, and hence the nature of reality itself.
The fastest way to understanding quantum physics - learn about how our universe works, in minutes.

Quantum physics is the most fundamental, but also the most bewildering, of sciences. Allowing for simultaneously dead-and-alive cats, teleportation, antimatter and parallel universes, it also underpins all digital technology and even life itself. But at last it´s possible through this clear and compact book, illuminated with 200 simple diagrams for anyone to understand the strange and beautiful subatomic world, and hence the nature of reality itself.

Contents include: inside the atom, the Higgs boson, Heisenberg´s uncertainty principle, Schrödinger´s cat, relativity, dark energy and matter, black holes, God playing dice, the Theory of Everything, the birth and fate of the Universe, string theory, quantum computing, superconductivity, quantum biology and consciousness, and much more.
