Quantum Physics: Knowledge That Won't Take Up Much Space

We all know from school that everything in the world is made of particles. But how widely quantum physics has entered our lives is something most of us have no clear idea about. And yet many benefits of modern civilization are owed to it, no matter how abstract the branch of knowledge may seem at first glance. The whole of the 20th century unfolded under the sign of discoveries in quantum theory, and its questions still unanswered—today—are a fascinating scientific detective story. This book will help you get acquainted with the secrets of the youngest branch of physics.
