Since its inception in the early part of the twentieth century, quantum physics has fascinated the academic world, its students, and even the general public. In fact, it is – or has become – a highly interdisciplinary eld. On a topic such as “the physicsof the atom” the disciplines of physics, philosophy,and history of science interconnect in a remarkable way, and to an extent that is revealed in this volume for the rst time. This compendium brings together some 90 researchers, who have authored approximately 185 articles on all aspects of quantum theory. The project is truly international and interdisciplinary ...

Reviews for Compendium of Quantum Physics
“From ‘Aharonov-Bohm effect’ through to ‘zero point energy’, this is a useful compendium of about 250 concepts, experimental facts, theoretical proposals, history, interpretations and philosophy. … it covers a big field and can be well recommended.” (K.-E. Hellwig, zbMATH 1318.81001, 2015) “This is a wonderful book to dip into. … it begins with the Aharanov–Bohm effect, runs through the ... Read more
