Quantum Untangling Non-technical and accessible primer providing
key foundational knowledge on quantum mechanics and quantum field
theory Quantum Untangling introduces the readers to the fascinating
and strange realm of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory,
written in an accessible manner while not shying away from using
mathematics where necessary. The book goes into sufficient depth
and conveys basic and more intricate concepts such as wave-particle
duality, wave functions, the superposition principle, quantum
tunneling, the quantum harmonic oscillator, the Dirac equation, and
Feynman diagrams. It also covers the physics of the Higgs boson and
provides a glimpse into string theory and loop quantum gravity.
Overall, the author introduces complex concepts of quantum
mechanics in an accessible and fun-to-read manner while laying the
groundwork for mastering an advanced level of treatment in standard
quantum mechanics textbooks and university courses. Quantum
Untangling includes information on: Special relativity, time and
length distortion, Einstein’s famous equation, how Einstein
figured it out, and the implications for energy, mass and momentum
Wave particle duality, discussing what classical physics cannot
explain, quanta of light and the photoelectric effect, De
Broglie’s crazy idea, and the double-slit experiment Making sense
of Schrödinger’s equation, angular momentum and the wave
function, angular rotational energy, atomic structure and molecular
bonds Spin, Quantum Electrodynamics, gauge invariance, the strong
and weak forces, plus a step-by-step description of the Higgs
mechanism With Quantum Untangling, any reader with a good grasp of
and an above-average interest in mathematics at advanced
high-school level can follow the presentation and acquaint
themselves with the fundamental and advanced topics of quantum
mechanics and quantum field theory, making it a helpful resource
for many different students.
