"This amplifier will redefine For example, Keith Schwab, a professor of applied physics at Caltech, is planning to use the amplifier to measure the behavior of tiny mechanical devices that operate at the boundary between classical physics and the strange world of quantum mechanics. The device can be used for everything from studying stars, galaxies, and black holes to exploring the quantum world and developing quantum computers. In two places at once: Strange world of quantum mechanics shown to work in visible world for first time 18th March 2010. The weird world of quantum mechanics includes innumerable counterintuitive phenomena. The weird world of quantum mechanics. The simple thought experiment presented (dealing with Albert's socks) allows the reader to explore the weird world of quantum physics, an experience that likely will challenge the reader's view on reality. Quantum mechanics starts with the simple idea that energy does not come in just any amount; it comes in discrete chunks, called quanta. On a macroscopic scale the universe appears very rational, and yet on closer inspection things are not quite what they seem. Griffiths is a standard mathematical introduction for physics majors. Styer is good, but non-mathematical. The Strange World of Quantum Mechanics by Daniel F. This is an exceptionally accessible, accurate, and nontechnical introduction to quantum mechanics. Introduction to Quantum Mechanics by David J. Quantum mechanics is certainly weird, with beans jumping through walls, and being both inside and outside jars at the same time. Elementary particles and forces of nature apart from gravity, an electron's point mass sits amid a cloud of virtual particles which pop in and out of existence—the sort of thing possible in the weird world of quantum mechanics.
