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.

In this cleverly conceived book physicist Robert Gilmore makes accessible some complex concepts in quantum mechanics by sending Alice to Quantumland a whole new Wonderland smaller than an atom where each attraction demonstrates a different aspect of quantum theory. Alice unusual encounters enhanced by illustrations by Gilmore himself make the Uncertainty Principle wave functions the Pauli Principle and other elusive concepts easier to grasp Presents some complex concepts in quantum mechanics by sending Alice to Quantumland a fresh Wonderland smaller than an atom where each attraction demonstrates a different aspect of quantum theory.
