The Quantum Handshake
Entanglement, Nonlocality and Transactions
Language: English
Release Date: December 23, 2015
This book shines bright light into the dim recesses of quantum theory, where the mysteries of entanglement, nonlocality, and wave collapse have motivated some to conjure up multiple universes, and others to adopt a "shut up and calculate" mentality. After an extensive and accessible introduction...

Beginning with basic ideas in quantum mechanics and...
Nature's Longest Threads
New Frontiers in the Mathematics and Physics of Information in Biology
Language: English
Release Date: July 11, 2014
Organisms endowed with life show a sense of awareness, interacting with and learning from the universe in and around them. Each level of interaction involves transfer of information of various kinds, and at different levels. Each thread of information is interlinked with the other, and woven together,...

Quantum Physics
What Everyone Needs to Know®
Language: English
Release Date: June 5, 2017
Around 1900, physicists started to discover particles like electrons, protons, and neutrons, and with these discoveries believed they could predict the internal behavior of the atom. However, once their predictions were compared to the results of experiments in the real world, it became clear that...
