A brilliantly original and richly illuminating exploration of entanglement, the seemingly telepathic communication between two separated particles—one of the fundamental concepts of quantum physics. In 1935, in what would become the most cited of all of his papers, Albert Einstein showed that quantum mechanics predicted such a correlation, which he dubbed “spooky action at a d...(展开全部)

In The Age of Entanglement , Louisa Gilder brings to life one of the pivotal debates in twentieth century physics. In 1935, Albert Einstein famously showed that, according to the quantum theory, separated particles could act as if intimately connected–a phenomenon which he derisively described as “spooky action at a distance.” In that same year, Erwin Schrödinger christened th...(展开全部)

Quantum physics is notable for its brazen defiance of common sense. (Think of Schrödinger's Cat, famously both dead and alive.) An especially rigorous form of quantum contradiction occurs in experiments with entangled particles. Our common assumption is that objects have properties whether or not anyone is observing them, and the measurement of one can't affect the other. Quant...(展开全部)

Meeting the Universe Halfway is an ambitious book with far-reaching implications for numerous fields in the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities. In this volume, Karen Barad, theoretical physicist and feminist theorist, elaborates her theory of agential realism. Offering an account of the world as a whole rather than as composed of separate natural and social realm...(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)

Life is the most extraordinary phenomenon in the known universe; but how does it work? Even in this age of cloning and synthetic biology, the remarkable truth remains: nobody has ever made anything living entirely out of dead material. Life remains the only way to make life. Are we missing a vital ingredient in its creation? Like Richard Dawkins' The Selfish Gene, which provide...(展开全部)

吉姆·艾尔—哈利利 ● 英国萨里大学物理学教授，最具影响力的量子生物学家。 ● 1989年，在英国萨里大学获得核反应理论博士学位。 ● 1992年，在英国工程和自然科学委员会的资助下，开始了为期五年的研究工作，他差不多每两个月就发表一篇论文，有些论文的引用次数超过500次。 ● 从20世纪90年代末开始，研究领域转向量子生物学，“量子隧穿”是他的研究重点。1999年，他与生物学家约翰乔·麦克法登联合发表了量子生物学方面的论文。2012年，在英国工程和自然科学委员会的资助下，他与约翰乔·麦克法登共同主办了量子生物学研讨会，并获得极大成功。2015年，他以量子生物学为主题做了TED演讲。 ● 2005—2007年，他参与拍摄BBC的纪录片《爱因斯坦大脑之谜》和《原子》，广受好评，他于2011年开始在BBC制作广播节目《生命科学》，每周吸引的听众数量高达2...(展开全部)

It is a shame that this book is out of print. Pagels lucid explanations of the quantum world are the best within lay science publishing. I also believe that Pagels rational approach is far and away a better introduction/exploration than the Eastern Mysticism-based books like Zukav s "The Dancing Wu Li Masters" or Fritjof Capra s "The Tao of Physics." Of course, those books ar...(展开全部)
