Quantum Non-Locality and Relativity

By Tim Maudlin,

Book cover of Quantum Non-Locality and Relativity: Metaphysical Intimations of Modern Physics

Book description

Modern physics was born from two great revolutions: relativity and quantum theory. Relativity imposed a locality constraint on physical theories: since nothing can go faster than light, very distant events cannot influence one another. Only in the last few decades has it become clear that quantum theory violates this constraint.…

Why read it?

1 author picked Quantum Non-Locality and Relativity as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is a wonderful and highly convincing analysis of quantum non-locality, written by one of the top expert philosophers of science. Personally, I learned a lot from this book, which clearly influenced me and helped me to become an expert in the field. The book goes deep into explaining why we live in a world full of non-local correlations and what that means. It analyses in depth the tension between quantum non-locality and relativity. Moreover, it contains several original ideas, like, e.g., how many bits of communication are needed to simulate quantum non-locality. It is still today a very timely…
