Quantum Physics

From the behaviour of subatomic particles to the effects of observation to the nature of gravity, quantum physics explains the fundamental workings of the universe. In Knowledge in a Nutshell: Quantum Physics, Sten Odenwald explores the weird and wonderful insights that have shaped our understanding of modern science. In this book, he explores a whole range of topics, including the origins of quantum mechanics in the early 20th century, the breakthroughs of scientists like Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, and Richard Feynman, as well as the latest developments such as quantum computing. Filled with helpful diagrams and simple summaries of complex theories, this essential introduction brings you all the great ideas about the basic forces that explain the workings of the universe.
