Quantum Physics: A First Encounter

Interference, Entanglement, and Reality

Beschreibung

The essential features of quantum physics, largely debated since its discovery, are presented through the description (without mathematics) of recent experiments. This book clarifies the historical issues (delocalisation, interferences) and reaches out to modern topics (quantum cryptography, non-locality and teleportation).

Autor

Valerio Scarani received his degree in 1996 in the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale, Lausanne (Switzerland), with a work in mathematical physics. He got his Ph.D. from the same institution four years later with an experimental research project in nuclear magnetic resonance. He moved to the group of Nicolas Gisin at the University of Geneva, where he started working in theoretical quantum information science. Since 2007 he has been at the National University of Singapore, where he is currently principal investigator at the Centre for Quantum Technologies and a professor in the Department of Physics.
