The 50 most important thought-provoking concepts, each explained in half a minute.

You know all about Schrodinger's cat, but how about his equation? howdo lasers, transistors and electron microscopes work?
What are the perils of renormalization?
What makes a fluid a superfluid? And what will a quantum computer be capable of?
Discover the history of some of science's greatest discoveries and ponder the furture of physics and technology with this fascinating guide to quantum theory.
 

30-SECOND QUANTUM THEORY tackles a mind-bendingly mysterious area of physics, introducing the 50 most significant quantum quandaries and ideas. At a time when the quantum physics of electronics is an everyday essential and new quantumdevelopments make headline news, you will visit parallel worlds, ride wave theory and learn enough to talk with certainty about Uncertainty Principle and to untangle the mysteries of quantum entanglement.
