Quantum physics is often perceived as a weird and abstract theory,
which physicists must use in order to make correct predictions. But
many recent experiments have shown that the weirdness of the theory
simply mirrors the weirdness of phenomena: it is Nature itself, and
not only our description of it, that behaves in an astonishing way.
This book selects those, among these typical quantum phenomena,
whose rigorous description requires neither the formalism, nor an
important background in physics. The first part of the book deals
with the phenomenon of single-particle interference, covering the
historical questions of wave-particle duality, objective randomness
and the boundary between the quantum and the classical world, but
also the recent idea of quantum cryptography. The second part
introduces the modern theme of entanglement, by presenting
two-particle interference phenomena and discussing Bell's
inequalities. A concise review of the main interpretations of
quantum physics is provided.
