Description
Still today, it is hard for most of us to comprehend the paradoxical character of quantum theory. Its complex nature can nevertheless be broken down into the most important aspects and explained in an intelligible way. This book offers an easily understandable overview of its development and fundamental features and illustrates the origins of quantum theory as we know it today through the contributions of distinguished physicists and scientists over several centuries.
