About this title

Synopsis

The aim of this book is twofold: to provide a comprehensive account of the foundations of the theory and to outline a theoretical and philosophical interpretation suggested from the results of the last twenty years.There is a need to provide an account of the foundations of the theory because recent experience has largely confirmed the theory and offered a wealth of new discoveries and possibilities. On the other side, the following results have generated a new basis for discussing the problem of the interpretation: the new developments in measurement theory; the experimental generation of "Schr�dinger cats"; recent developments which allow, for the first time, the simultaneous measurement of complementary observables; quantum information processing, teleportation and computation.To accomplish this task, the book combines historical, systematic and thematic approaches.

Review

...offers the most complete and systematic review from the origins of the theory up to the present day. -- Foundations of Physics, Oct 2002

...serves as a good overview of many different aspects of quantum mechanics at the postgraduate or advanced undergraduate level. -- Progress in Quantum Electronics, 2001

It deserves to be treated as a definitive reference to the twentieth century's contribution to our understanding of quantum physics. -- Europhysics News, Sept/Oct 2001
