Why is quantum theory so difficult to understand?
In this book, written for both undergraduate and graduate students of
chemistry and physics, the author looks at the continuing debate about
the meaning of quantum theory. The historical development of the theory
is traced from the turn of the century through to the 1930s, and the
famous debate between Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein. The book examines
in detail the arguments that quantum theory is incomplete, as made by
Einstein, Boris Podolsky, and Nathan Rosen; the development of Bell's
theorem; and crucial experimental tests performed in the early 1980s.
Alternative interpretations -- pilot waves, quantum gravity,
consciousness, and many worlds -- are described in the closing chapter.
