A.C. Elitzur, S. Dolev, N. Kolenda (Eds.) Quo Vadis Quantum Mechanics? Series: The Frontiers Collection

▶ In many respects this is a unique book. ▶ There is no other book on the market featuring such an ensemble of leading figures in quantum mechanics and offering such a combination of articles and exchanges

For more than a century, quantum mechanics has served as a very powerful theory that has expanded physics and technology far beyond their classical limits, yet it has also produced some of the most difficult paradoxes known to the human mind. This book represents the combined efforts of sixteen of today's most eminent theoretical physicists to lay out future directions for quantum physics. The authors include Yakir Aharonov, Anton Zeilinger; the Nobel laureates Anthony Leggett and Geradus 't Hooft; Basil Hiley, Lee Smolin and Henry Stapp. Following a foreword by Roger Penrose, the individual chapters address questions such as quantum non-locality, the measurement problem, Softcover reprint of hardcover 1st ed. 2005, quantum insights into relativity, cosmology and thermodynamics, and the possible XIV, 421 p. 61 illus. bearing of quantum phenomena on biology and consciousness.
