Publisher's Synopsis
2022 Nobel Prize winner in Physics-Alan. Alain Aspect opens the most decisive page in today's physics - the second quantum revolution that is unfolding before our eyes! Complex concepts are explained in a simple way, understanding quantum physics from its origins, historical evolution and new applications. The first quantum revolution was born in the early 20th century. Driven by physicists such as Einstein, it completely subverted our view of the world, revealed surprising concepts such as wave-particle duality, and also brought about transistors, lasers, integrated circuits, computers and other major inventions.
