Beyond the Quantum by Antony Valentini

Beyond the Quantum by Antony Valentini

Based on decades of research, this book offers a panoramic rethink of quantum physics, with potentially revolutionary implications for cosmology, quantum gravity, and quantum technology.

A fascinating exploration of a beautiful hypothesis about the mysteries of quantum phenomena, by an independent, careful, and courageous thinker * Carlo Rovelli, Aix-Marseille University, author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics and The Order of Time *
Written with great clarity and elegance; and with a gift for vivid - but always appropriate and didactically helpful - metaphors * Jeremy Butterfield, Senior Research Fellow, University of Cambridge *
This is the best book yet written in this century to understand the great debate now raging among today's physicists and philosophersOn one side stand the antirealists, arguing we must reject the notion that science tells us what is real. Valentini stands as the most important thinker of this century defending the notion that science gives a complete description of physical processes. With crystal clear prose and brilliant pedagogy Valentini guides us along a trip to understand how quantum theory may be saved. * Lee Smolin, Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, author of The Trouble with Physics and Einstein's Unfinished Revolution. *

Antony Valentini graduated from Cambridge University and obtained his PhD at the International School for Advanced Studies. He has held research positions at the University of Rome La Sapienza, Imperial College London, and Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. He was Professor of Physics at Clemson University and is an Academic Visitor at Imperial College London. He is co-author of Quantum Theory at the Crossroads (Cambridge University Press, 2009).
