Guía breve. 50 temas fascinantes de la física cuántica (rústica): que invitan a reflexionar

by Brian Clegg

En un momento en el que la mecánica cuántica de la electrónica es indispensable en la vida cotidiana y los nuevos descubrimientos cuánticos ocupan los titulares de los informativos, tendrá la ocasión de visitar universos múltiples, viajar por la teoría de ondas y aprender lo suficiente para hablar con propiedad sobre el principio de incertidumbre y los misterios del entrelazamiento cuántico. Todo lo que hacemos y vemos tiene partículas cuánticas como base de la acción, aunque esas partículas sean muy diferentes de cualquier cosa que podamos experimentar directamente. Es la paradoja y el encanto de la mecánica o teoría cuántica que podrá descubrir en esta obra.
