This book is an original first approach to quantum physics, the
core of modern physics. It combines the competence of a well-known
researcher in quantum information science and the freshness in
style of two high school students.
Quantum physics is known to be challenging for two reasons: it
describes counter-intuitive phenomena and employs rather advanced
mathematics. The description of "traditional" quantum phenomena
(the structure of atoms and molecules, the properties of solids,
the zoology of sub-atomic particles) does indeed involve the whole
formalism. However, some other striking phenomena, somehow the most
"typically quantum" ones, can be described using only high school
mathematical skills. This approach exploits this fact, thus making
it possible for a beginner to tackle mind-boggling experiments like
teleportation and the violation of Bell's inequalities, and
practice notions like superposition, entanglement and
decoherence.
