Alice in Quantumland by Robert Gilmore
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. Readers will learn about the Uncertainty Principle, wave functions, the Pauli Principle, and other elusive concepts.Robert Gilmore is a professor at Drexel University's Department of Physics in Philadelphia. He is a member of the International Colloquium on Group Theoretical Techniques in Physics' Standing Committee and a Fellow of the American Physical Society. Group theory, catastrophe theory, atomic and nuclear physics, singularity theory, and chaos are among his scientific interests.
