Human beings like to divide and classify. The natural sciences divide into physics, chemistry and biology. Physics divides as well, between Newton’s classical mechanics of the ordinary, everyday world, and quantum mechanics, which deals with atoms, protons, electrons, photons and even smaller particles. The worlds of classical physics and quantum mechanics differ radically. The compelling question is where and how the two come together. This dense, challenging book illuminates a fascinating theory that affects information technology’s future.
