    Understanding Quantum Physics: An Advanced Guide for the Perplexed

    Textbook - Understanding Quantum Physics: An Advanced Guide for the Perplexed ISBN:
    Binding: Kindle Edition
    Edition: 1
    Author(s): Shan Gao
    Publisher: Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing
    Number of Pages:

    Quantum physics is admittedly the most difficult subject to understand Physicists let alone students and laymen are still puzzled by it today As Richard Feynman once famously claimed nobody understood quantum mechanics The crux of the matter lies in the meaning of the mysterious wave function in the theory An electron is represented by a wave function But it remains unclear what physical state the mathematical wave function represents Exactly what is an electron Is it a spreading wave or a localized particle If the electron is still a particle then how does it move eg how does a single electron pass through two slits

    This book will convincingly show that the real meaning of the wave function can already be unveiled based on the established parts of quantum mechanics It turns out that electrons are still localized particles but their motion is not continuous but discontinuous and random displaying wave-like behavior For example in the double-slit experiment with single electrons each electron passes through two slits at the same time in a random and discontinuous way Moreover the book also answers another three fundamental questions about quantum mechanics How come the Schrdinger equation Does the wave function collapse during a measurement If yes then why and how Is quantum mechanics compatible with special relativity If not then how to solve the incompatibility problem The original ideas of this book if confirmed may finally unveil the mysterious quantum world and make quantum physics comprehensible for everyone

    Book & Thoughts Reviews

    This is an ambitious work that reflects admirable grip and distinctive take on much of the contemporary philosophy of quantum mechanics literature
    ---- Reviewer of Philosophy of Science

    The idea of using discontinuous motion as a realist interpretation of quantum mechanics is original
    ---- Reviewer of Foundations of Physics

    If it goes through this would be an original and significant contribution to the debate over the nature of motion
    ---- Reviewer of American Philosophical Quarterly

    Its very existence is at any rate an excellent illustration of the extent to which physical data force us to depart from commonsense ideas when we try to depict reality as it really is
    ---- Bernard d'Espagnat Templeton Prize 2009 Laureate author of Conceptual Foundations of Quantum Mechanics and On Physics and Philosophy
