quantum theory

Henry Spencer, a newly signed catcher with the Oakland Athletics who astounds his teammates by speaking of baseball in terms of physics, splits midseason when he is summoned to Needles, California to meet with Benny Rhodes, a former MIT professor who comes to believe Henry may be the reincarnation of his late colleague and friend, Arthur Hodges, a brilliant mathematician.

Chronicles the life and work of Paul Dirac, focusing on his work in various scientific fields, including his role in the discovery of quantum mechanics, his prediction of antimatter, his work with Einstein, and other related topics.

Examines how Albert Einstein's discoveries and theories have influenced modern science, discussing how his work has been used in various scientific fields and how it may shape the future.

Examines the history of computer development and introduces the idea of the quantum computer in which the electronic switches embeded on the chips that drive personal computers would be replaced with atoms.

Explores the basic properties of matter and explains the laws of quantum mechanics.

Leadership and the New Sciences is the bestselling, most acclaimed, and most influential guide to applying the new science to organizations of all types, and to our personal lives. Wheatley describes how the new science radically alters our understanding of the world, and how it can teach us to live and work together in these chaotic times. It will teach you how to move with greater certainty and easier grace into the new forms of organizations and communities that are taking shape.

Explains the theory and associated mathematics of quantum mechanics, discussing topics ranging from uncertainty and time dependence to particle and wave states.

Presents an exploration of the subatomic world, explaining how the twentieth-century theories of quantum mechanics--the physics of the very small, and special relativity--the physics of the very fast, have changed the scientific understanding of matter.

Ben Warner is invited to join a "science camp" led by a quantum physicist Dr. Madeleine Hughes, and with his new friend Peter he discovers the secret art of Actuation--the ability to change reality by imagining it differently--but he.

A guide to relativity and quantum mechanics that provides information on relativity and general relativity, the concepts and interpretation of quantum mechanics, and formulas and applications for each, and profiles physicists in this field.
