But, for most students, the ideas that make quantum mechanics <br /> powerful can be confusing and counterintuitive. This volume in the Greenwood <br /> Guides to Great Ideas in Science series provides a history of quantum mechanics <br /> from the early breakthroughs of Planck and Einstein, at the beginning of the <br /> 20th century, to the present frontiers of quantum computing and quantum gravity. <br /> The approach is entirely non-technical, and is aimed at the general reader who <br /> may not have much mathematical background but who has a strong curiosity about <br /> some of the most important developments in modern science. Quantum Mechanics: A <br /> Historical Perspective traces the history of this powerful theory, including: <br /> BLThe early discoveries by Max Planck and Albert Einstein regarding the <br /> quantization of radiation BLThe &quot;early quantum theory,&quot; including Neils Bohr's <br /> theory of the atom BLThe birth of modern quantum mechanics through the work of <br /> Heisenberg, Schrodinger, Born, Dirac and others BLApplications of quantum <br /> mechanics in chemistry, nuclear physics, electronics, and many other areas <br /> BLRecent work in quantum computation and quantum information theory The book <br /> emphasizes the fact that despite the great success of quantum mechanics, many <br /> exciting intellectual frontiers remain open for further researchers to explore. <br /> It includes a glossary, a timeline, and a bibliography of accessible resources <br /> for further research. <br /> <br /> Table of Contents<br /> <br /> List of Illustrations vii<br /> Series Foreword ix<br /> Preface xi<br /> Acknowledgments xiii<br /> Introduction: Why Learn the History of Quantum Mechanics? xv<br /> The Twilight of Certainty 1<br /> Einstein and Light 15<br /> The Bohr Atom and Old Quantum Theory 29<br /> Uncertain Synthesis 45<br /> Dualities 63<br /> Elements of Physical Reality 79<br /> Creation and Annihilation 93<br /> Quantum Mechanics Goes to Work 107<br /> Symmetries and Resonances 119<br /> &quot;The Most Profound Discovery of Science&quot; 133<br /> Bits, Qubits, and the Ultimate Computer 149<br /> Unfinished Business 161<br /> Timeline 175<br /> Glossary 185<br /> Further Reading 195<br /> References 211<br /> Index 213 <br /> <br /> Product Details<br /> <br /> * ISBN: 031333448X<br /> * ISBN-13: 9780313334481<br /> * Format: Hardcover, 240pp<br /> * Publisher: Greenwood Publishing Group, Incorporated<br /> * Pub.
