Quantum Physics
Book description
Quantum physics is often perceived as a weird and abstract theory, which physicists must use in order to make correct predictions.

Why read it?
1 author picked Quantum Physics as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This little book introduces quantum physics at the level of high-school students. It starts with semi-transparent mirrors and interferometers. With figures, but no equations, the reader becomes familiar with wave-particle duality. Next, quantum cryptography, some experiments, and even quantum teleportation are presented in a truly pedestrian way. I much enjoyed reading this book.
From Nicolas' list on nonlocality, teleportation, and other quantum marvels.
