A novel interpretation of quantum mechanics, first proposed in brief form by Hugh Everett in 1957, forms the nucleus around which this book has developed. In his interpretation, Dr. Everett denies the existence of a separate classical realm and asserts the propriety of considering a state vector for the whole universe. Because this state vector never collapses, reality as a whole is rigorously deterministic. This reality, which is described jointly by the dynamical variables and the state vector, is not the reality customarily perceived; rather, it is a reality composed of many worlds. By virtue of the temporal development of ... Read more

Reviews for The Many Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics
Peebles applies quantum theory, often in a simple, approximate way, to a variety of interesting problems... Could prove quite a rewarding book for the more able and motivated student.
