Description

Explore the turbulent history of quantum theory in this detailed account from Springer. While quantum mechanics became a massive success as a predictive tool, it has always faced deep doubts regarding its foundations and interpretation. This book follows the evolution of that research from the end of WWII through the mid-1990s. Readers will learn about the scientists who challenged established norms and the events that shaped modern physics. It tracks the revival of foundational research and follows its journey as it eventually merged into the technological promise of quantum information. This is a deep look at the people and the controversy that drove scientific change during the second half of the 20th century.

Key Features

Traces the evolution of research on quantum foundations from the post-WWII era until the mid-1990s.

Provides a detailed history of the people and events that drove changes in quantum theory attitudes.

Examines the tension between the predictive success of quantum mechanics and the doubts regarding its interpretation.

Explains how foundational research transitioned into the modern era of quantum information technology.

Offers a comprehensive look at the scientists known as the quantum dissidents who challenged standard views.
