Fizyka kwantowa w pigułce

by Sten Odenwald

Fizyka kwantowa to jeden z najtrudniejszych i najbardziej paraliżujących umysł działów fizyki. Znany naukowiec – Sten Odenwald – prezentuje najważniejsze teorie z zakresu fizyki kwantowej, wprowadzając Czytelnika w świat jednej z bardziej tajemniczych dziedzin nauki. Przedstawia również sylwetki wybitych osobowości stojących za odkryciami związanymi z fizyką kwantową, w tym Maxa Plancka, Neilsa Bohra i Wernera Heisenberga.

Tłumaczenie kultowej serii docenionej m.in przez The Times Literary Supplement i The Jung Society of Utah za "prezentację trudnych tematów w prostej formie".

Książki z tej serii to typowe "pigułki wiedzy" – zarówno z zakresu nauk ścisłych, jak i humanistycznych. Przystępnie napisane i bogato ilustrowane, zawierają komplet informacji, które warto znać.

chciałabym kiedys zrozumiec o co chodzi

Initially I liked that the book had short chapters and that the chapters had short summaries. I don’t like the snapshot bios of famous scientists. For one thing, that isn’t the point of the book. We are supposed to be learning about an entire field of physics which is plenty to deal with and focus on. It’s like if they had mini-cooking competitions in the middle of a fashion show.

I did appreciate that he included lots of equations and math. He made it clear from the get go that the reader didn’t need to understand the math to get something out of the book. What I liked about the math was that is grounds the material in the reality that beyond having a basic conceptual overview of the material, knowing the math is what is needed to truly take the next step to understanding physics.

I wish I had found this book a lot sooner. It would have simplified my journey through quantum physics. It is a great read, which is very well written and does an amazing job at summarizing the field.

I would definitely recommend this to everyone who is new to the area of quantum physics and wants to get a comprehensive view of the field. While the book might become overwhelming to a non-specialist but trust me its a lot better than a lot of other works out there on the same subject.

Definitely recommended.

Don't bother! In addition to mistakes (pg 51 - derivation of de Broglie's equation and repeat of an entire paragraph on pages 52 and 53), the book doesn't know what it was to accomplish. At times it tries to impress the reader with terms and equations while it still fails to adequately explain concepts.
I can't think of anyone who this book was written for. The mini-biographical sketches are lame and brings no new insights. The fact that it is difficult to write a general audience book on quantum physics does not excuse the author for this work.

很适合高中生或者本科想走这条路的人阅读，内容丰富但又不是吓死人的无数细节，整体高屋建瓴。
就是把反物质放在最后一章感觉有点奇怪。
