Beyond Weird : Why Everything You Thought You Knew about Quantum Physics Is Different /
"Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it." Since Niels Bohr said this many years ago, quantum mechanics has only been getting more shocking. We now realize that it's not really telling us that "weird" things happen out of sight, on the tiniest level...

Tabla de Contenidos:
- Frontmatter
- By way of introduction...
- No one can say what quantum mechanics means (and this is a book about it)
- Quantum mechanics is not really about the quantum
- Quantum objects are particle (but sometimes neither wave nor they might as well be)
- Quantum particles aren't (but sometimes they in two states at once might as well be)
- What 'happens' depends on what we find out about it
- There are many ways of theory (and none of them interpreting quantum quite makes sense)
- Whatever the question, the answer is 'Yes' (unless it's 'No')
- Not everything is knowable at once
- The properties of quantum objects don't have to be contained within the objects
- There is no 'spooky action at a distance'
- The everyday world is what quantum becomes at human scales
- Everything you experience is a (partial) copy of what causes it
- Schrödinger's cat has had kittens
- Quantum mechanics can be harnessed for technology
- Quantum computers don't necessarily perform 'many calculations at once'
- There is no other 'quantum' you
- Things could be even more 'quantum' than they are (so why aren't they)?
- The fundamental laws of quantum mechanics might be simpler than we imagine
- Can we ever get to the bottom of it?
