This fascinating introduction from quarks to computing covers every element of the quantum world in clear and accessible language. Based from a range of knowledge to illustrate what a fascinating world of quantum physics is, Max points out that it is not only a web of scientific terminology and metaphysical theories but a fact that influences our everyday lives.

The first idea that comes to mind when we hear the word quantum physics is Einstein and his theory of relativity. Of reality, it goes without mentioning that Quantum mechanics has far much to come than that. Physics is a great medium of explaining a million different things from heating up a cup of coffee to gravitational pull. The science of physics has no clear limit. It includes issues that are as items as tiny as neutrons as large as the galaxies. This book deals with its smallest side, the branch of quantum physics.

Quantum Physics is a subset of physics needed to deal with objects of submicroscopic existence. Because these effects are smaller than we can actively interpret with our senses and typically have to be examined by tools, elements of quantum mechanics look as mysterious and unusual as relativity elements. But, like gravity, it is much more mysterious than fantasy that quantum mechanics have been proven to be the real reality.

Physicists began to discover particles like electrons, protons, and neutrons around 1900, and with these discoveries, they believed they could predict the atom's internal behaviour. However, once their predictions were compared with the results of real-world experiments, it became clear that the principles of classical physics and mechanics were far from capable of explaining atomic-scale phenomena. With this discovery came the emergence of quantum mechanics, one of human history's most significant scientific revolutions. Quantum physics is everywhere today: it explains how our computers work, how lasers transmit information over the Internet and enable scientists to predict the behaviour of almost every particle in nature accurately. Its implementation remains central to the analysis of the most profound issues about our environment and the cosmos.

Although the theory and concepts of quantum physics are considered to have nearly infinite implications, much less is learned regarding the underlying explanations why this is the case. In Quantum Physics: The Simple Guide With the Fascinating Ideas, quantum physicist Max Carnot distils the basic principles of such a complex field and discusses the many aspects in which quantum physics is a central influence in today's science and beyond. The book answers issues as large as the sense of quantum entanglement and as precise and timely as the explanation why policymakers around the world are investing billions of dollars conducting research into quantum technologies. Max's list of topics is diverse and showcases the sheer range of questions and ideas in which quantum physics is involved. From technologies such as data encryption and quantum computation to definitions and concepts such as "quantum nonlocality" and Heisenberg's theory of ambiguity, Quantum Physics: The Simple Guide With The Most Fascinating Concepts is a wide-ranging introduction to an almost omnipresent science topic.
