About this title

Synopsis

The essential features of quantum physics, largely debated since its discovery, are presented through the description (without mathematics) of recent experiments. This book clarifies the historical issues (delocalisation, interferences) and reaches out to modern topics (quantum cryptography, non-locality and teleportation).
