Quantum mechanics is one of mankind's most remarkable intellectual
achievements. Stunningly successful and elegant, it challenges our
deepest intuitions about the world. In this book, seventeen
physicists and philosophers, all deeply concerned with
understanding quantum mechanics, reply to Schlosshauer's
penetrating questions about the central issues. They grant us an
intimate look at their radically different ways of making sense of
the theory's strangeness. What is quantum mechanics about? What is
it telling us about nature? Can quantum information or new
experiments help lift the fog? And where are we headed next?
Everyone interested in the contemporary but often longstanding
conundrums of quantum theory, whether lay reader or expert, will
find much food for thought in these pages. A wealth of personal
reflections and anecdotes guarantee an engaging read. Participants:
Guido Bacciagaluppi, Caslav Brukner, Jeffrey Bub, Arthur Fine,
Christopher Fuchs, GianCarlo Ghirardi, Shelly Goldstein, Daniel
Greenberger, Lucien Hardy, Anthony Leggett, Tim Maudlin, David
Mermin, Lee Smolin, Antony Valentini, David Wallace, Anton
Zeilinger, and Wojciech Zurek.
