| Summary, etc | The Quantum Universe offers a clear, non-mathematical introduction to quantum physics, combining historical background, vivid illustrations, and intuitive explanations to make complex ideas accessible to students and general readers. It traces the development of quantum theory from early experiments to modern applications, covering concepts such as wave–particle duality, uncertainty, and the probabilistic nature of reality. The authors emphasize understanding through visuals and examples rather than equations, linking quantum principles to everyday technologies and exploring their philosophical implications.<br/> |
