In this book, Henry Bar, physicist and the first quantum superhero,
guides the reader through the amazing quantum world. His
hair-raising adventures in his perilous struggle for quantum
coherence are graphically depicted by comics and thoroughly
explained to the lay reader. Behind each adventure lies a key
concept in quantum physics. These concepts range from the basic
quantum coherence and entanglement through tunnelling and the
recently discovered quantum decoherence control, to the principles
of the emerging technologies of quantum communication and
computing. The explanations of the concepts are accessible, but
nonetheless rigorous and detailed. They are followed by an account
of the broader context of these concepts, their historic
perspective, current status and forthcoming developments. Finally,
thought-provoking philosophical and cultural implications of these
concepts are discussed. The mathematical appendices of all chapters
cover in a straightforward manner the core aspects of quantum
physics at the level of a university introductory course. The
Quantum Matrix presents an entertaining, popular, yet comprehensive
picture of quantum physics . It can be read as a light-hearted
illustrated tale, a philosophical treatise, or a textbook. Either
way, the book lets the reader delve deeply into the wondrous
quantum world from diverse perspectives and obtain glimpses into
the quantum technologies that are about to reshape our lives. This
book offers the reader an enjoyable and rewarding voyage through
the quantum world.
