Einstein's steadfast refusal to accept certain aspects of quantum theory was rooted in his insistence that physics has to be about reality. Accordingly, he once derided as "spooky action at a distance" the notion that two elementary particles far removed from each other could nonetheless influence each other's properties--a hypothetical phenomenon his fellow theorist Erwin Schr...(展开全部)

安东·蔡林格（Anton Zeilinger） 奥地利籍物理学家，现任奥地利科学院院长。2022年获得诺贝尔物理学奖。 他的论文共被引用94000余次，并于2014年进入汤森路透“高引用科学家”榜单。塞林格长期从事量子物理和量子信息研究，是国际上量子物理基础检验和量子信息领域的先驱和重要开拓者。无论是理论还是实验，塞林格在量子物理基础检验方面建立了始创性的功绩。他曾与合作者在国际上率先开展中子、原子、大分子的量子干涉实验，实现了无局域性漏洞、无探测效率漏洞的量子力学非定域性检验，提出并在实验中制备首个多粒子纠缠态（GHZ态），这在量子力学基础检验和量子信息中起着关键作用。基于量子物理的基础检验，塞林格与同事开发出了多光子干涉度量学，进一步把它们广泛用于量子信息处理，具体包括量子密集编码、远距离量子通信、光量子计算等领域。其中，他在1997年首次实现量...(展开全部)

约瑟夫·阿加西，1927年出生于耶路撒冷。1952年获得希伯来大学理学硕士学位后，师从著名哲学家卡尔·波普尔，于1956年获得伦敦大学逻辑与科学方法论方向博士学位。阿加西曾在多所大学任教，包括伦敦大学、特拉维夫大学、香港大学、伊利诺伊大学、约克大学和波士顿大学。阿加西的 研究领域十分广泛，跨越了科学史、科学编史学、科学哲学和政治哲学等多个领域，是20世纪后半叶具有世界影响力的思想家之一。本书是他早年的一部作品。 王哲然，北京大学科学思想史专业在读博士。 王筱娜，爱丁堡大学科学思想史专业在读博士。

Codes have decided the fates of empires, countries, and monarchies throughout recorded history. Mary, Queen of Scots was put to death by her cousin, Queen Elizabeth, for the high crime of treason after spymaster Sir Francis Walsingham cracked the secret code she used to communicate with her conspirators. And thus the course of British history was altered by a few sheets of cryp...(展开全部)

Quantum theory is weird. As Niels Bohr said, if you weren t shocked by quantum theory, you didn t really understand it. For most people, quantum theory is synonymous with mysterious, impenetrable science. And in fact for many years it was equally baffling for scientists themselves. In this tour de force of science history, Manjit Kumar gives a dramatic and superbly written acco...(展开全部)
