The Principles of Quantum Theory, From Planck's Quanta to the Higgs Boson

More about the book

Focusing on foundational thinking in quantum theory, the book explores the significance of fundamental principles and principle thinking, which have driven major breakthroughs from the early quantum theory to contemporary quantum information theory. It revisits the contributions of key figures like Einstein and Bohr, offering a new interpretation of quantum mechanics known as "the statistical Copenhagen interpretation." The work emphasizes the historical and philosophical evolution of quantum theory, highlighting the essential shifts in understanding reality, probability, and locality that define its foundational principles.
