Includes index. Quantum mechanics is one of mankind's most remarkable intellectual achievements. Stunningly successful and elegant, it challenges our deepest intuitions about the world. For this book, seventeen leading scientists and philosophers, all deeply concerned with understanding quantum mechanics, were interviewed about the central issues. Their responses provide us with an intimate look at the radically different ways of making sense of the theory's strangeness. What is the quantum mechanics about? What is it telling us about nature? Can recent developments, such as quantum information, help lift the |
