About this product
Product Information
At long last, there is a sensible way to think about quantum mechanics. The new view abolishes the need to believe in randomness, long-range magical forces, or conscious observers with mysterious powers to collapse cats into a state of life or death. But this new understanding comes at a price: we must accept that we live in a multiverse wherein countless versions of reality unfold side-by-side. The philosophical and personal consequences of this are awe-inspiring. But the new interpretation has also allowed imaginative physicists to conceive of wonderful new technologies that include measuring devices that effectively share information between worlds and computers that can borrow the power of other worlds to perform calculations. And step by step, the problems initially associated with the original many-worlds formulation have been addressed and answered so that a clear but startling new picture has emerged. Just as Copenhagen was the center of quantum discussion a lifetime ago, so Oxford is the epicenter of the modern debate, with such figures as Roger Penrose and Anton Zeilinger fighting for single-world views, and David Deutsch, Lev Vaidman, and a host of others for many-worlds. An independent physicist living in Oxford, Colin Bruce has had a ringside seat to the debate. In his capable hands, we understand why the initially fantastic-sounding many-worlds view is not only a useful way to look at things, but is logically compelling.

Reviews
Usually quantum fuzziness appears only in ultratiny arenas, on a scale smaller than a golf ball to the degree that the golf ball is smaller than Texas. But nowadays, in labs around the world, scientists are plotting to release quantum weirdness from its subatomic prison. Before too long, quantum news won't be just for the science section anymore-you'll be reading about it on the business pages.
