Description for Alice in Quantumland: An Allegory of Quantum Physics
Hardcover. Alice lands in Quantum land - a whole new Wonderland, smaller than an atom, where each attraction demonstrates a different aspect of quantum theory. In this book, the physicist makes complex concepts in quantum mechanics accessible. Illustrator(s): Gilmore, Robert. Num Pages: 200 pages, 50 black & white illustrations. BIC Classification: PDZ; PHQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 240 x 166 x 20. Weight in Grams: 464.
In this cleverly conceived book, physicist Robert Gilmore makes accessible some complex concepts in quantum mechanics by sending Alice to Quantumland-a whole new Wonderland, smaller than an atom, where each attraction demonstrates a different aspect of quantum theory. Alice unusual encounters, enhanced by illustrations by Gilmore himself, make the Uncertainty Principle, wave functions, the Pauli Principle, and other elusive concepts easier to grasp.
