Description for Quantum Chance: Nonlocality, Teleportation and Other Quantum Marvels
Paperback. From Bell's Theorem to experiments in quantum entanglement, this book helps readers gain a solid understanding of one of the most fascinating areas of contemporary physics. It illuminates the many logical paradoxes of quantum physics without using mathematics. Num Pages: 109 pages, 9 black & white illustrations, 3 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PDX; PHQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 156 x 238 x 8. Weight in Grams: 226.
Quantum physics, which offers an explanation of the world on the smallest scale, has fundamental implications that pose a serious challenge to ordinary logic. Particularly counterintuitive is the notion of entanglement, which has been explored for the past 30 years and posits an ubiquitous randomness capable of manifesting itself simultaneously in more than one place. This amazing 'non-locality' is more than just an abstract curiosity or paradox: it has entirely down-to-earth applications in cryptography, serving for example to protect financial information; it also has enabled the demonstration of 'quantum teleportation', whose infinite possibilities even science-fiction writers can scarcely imagine. ...

Reviews for Quantum Chance: Nonlocality, Teleportation and Other Quantum Marvels
From the book reviews: This is one of the better books on quantum probability, nonlocality and statistics. ... The textbook also explains this for interested audiences of quantum theory at the beginners to intermediate levels. I highly recommend this for bedtime readings for those with some physics background at the intermediate levels. It avoids a lot ... Read more
