Quantum physics has, on the one hand, drastically changed our
theoretical description of the physical world and has, on the other
hand, revolutionized everyday life, by allowing us to build lasers,
atomic clocks used in GPS, and semiconductor-based devices such as
laptop computers and smartphones. The object of this book is to
give a self-contained introduction to both aspects. It contains a
detailed account of the foundational principles: superposition,
entanglement, quantum non-locality, decoherence and measurement
theory, and of some selected applications: quantum cryptography and
quantum computers, cold atoms, light emitting and laser diodes, and
atomic clocks. The book is aimed at a general audience and the only
prerequisite is a high-school background in mathematics.
