"While the smallest physical matter in the universe may seem insignificant, this couldn't be further from the truth. Quantum mechanics has helped us understand that examining the world on the scale of atoms and electrons can reveal much about what truly is behind the functions of our everyday lives. This title will fascinate readers as they learn about . . . theoretical conundrums of quantum mechanics including entanglement. Explanatory text will also allow readers to explore practical uses of quantum mechanics involving computing, communications, and the limits of the imagination"--Provided by publisher.
