Alice is about to enter a whole new Wonderland. It's Quantumland -- a kind of intellectual amusement park, smaller than an atom, where each attraction demonstrates a different aspect of quantum theory. There she'll meet an Emperor who thinks his new clothes into existence, dance with the Three Quark Brothers at the Particle MASSquerade, travel back in time (running into herself), and experience all kinds of quantum effects. In this cleverly conceived book, physicist Robert Gilmore makes accessible some often baffling components of quantum mechanics.Gilmore, Robert is the author of 'Alice in Quantumland An Allegory of Quantum Physics', published 1995 under ISBN 9780387914954 and ISBN 0387914951.
