Quantum Physics: A Beginners Guide to How Quantum Physics Affects Everything around Us
When we hear the term quantum physics, the first thought that comes to our mind is Einstein and his theory of relativity. Of course, it goes without saying that there is much more to quantum physics than that. Physics is an excellent medium of explaining a million different things starting from heating a cup of coffee to gravitational pull. There is no real limit in the discipline of physics. It involves matters that are as huge as the galaxy to things as small as neutrons. This book deals with the smallest side of it, which is the branch of quantum physics.
Throughout the course of this book, you will get a much better understanding of quantum physics starting from the basic concepts to some in-depth information. You will also see a lot of math and calculus in the book since quantum physics uses many concepts from those subjects. Don’t dread reading through even though it might sound dreary and difficult. I don’t intend to scare you with big equations and calculations, as this book will not make you a physicist. The sole aim of this book is to simplify quantum physics for the common man, who has no idea what it entails and how it affects our everyday life.
I have put the text together in a way that should make the subject matter much simpler to understand and maybe interesting to someone who normally hates science. I assure you that by the end you will have learnt more than you normally do by just staring blankly ahead in a classroom. And if you are a curious student, you will definitely know more about quantum physics than before.
In this book you will
What Quantum Physics is
Theories of Matter
Wave-Particle Duality
The Einstein-Podolsky paradox
Applications of Quantum Physics
And much much more!

Oversimplified “Ultra Pro Max” — but no false advertising. That’s exactly what it promised. Delivered.
Kinda melancholic going through it, though. Makes you wish you’d stumbled across these years ago, back when the whole topic was just beginning to bloom in your mind.
I suppose this is one of those cases where better late than never.

A VERY brief introduction to such a complex discipline. It tries to encapsulate many things and it misses the point. If it had a few less subjects it would be a better book.

Quantum physics is so trippy. The last part delves on the fear of becoming trapped in an alternative reality due to quantum jumps.

I received this title for free in exchange for an unbiased review
What is the book about:
This book gives a history of quantum physics and takes complex theories and explains them in an intuitive and simple way.
It addresses several major theories, paradoxes,and practical examples of the utility of quantum physics.
What background knowledge do you need to follow this book:
I have had some college level math, but is neither a physicist or a mathematician. The book does contain some formulas, but math skills are never really required to follow the explanations. The focus of the book is not to get caught up in the mathematical details, but to give a simple and intuitive introduction to quantum physics
How easy to follow is the book:
The book does not seem well structured to me. I am sure that the order that different theorems and paradoxes are introduced in makes sense to someone already in the community of quantum physics. But as a newcomer this felt less like a guided structured introduction to a subject, and more like an unprepared lecture on a subject by a complete expert.
The author comes off as very knowledgeable on the subject. But it is clear that his background is academic, and not in communication. And I feel the book could have benefited from more editing in order to better structure the book. And in order to better reach the target audience. I often felt that the author told me what to feel and think about quantum physics, but not why he thought I should think or feel that.
Conclusion:
All in all this book did give me a short introduction to quantum physics. It did make me curious about the science. And it did make me able to understand way more references made it The big bang theory. But I am left feeling that with better editing, this book (and this author) would have been able to communicate much more and/or much more clearly.
