From the Publisher

This is not the typical 300-page physics book full of incomprehensible mathematical formulas. Instead, ”Quantum Physics for Beginners” has been written to describe the quantum world clearly and concisely, making this complex topic accessible to all.

From wave theory to quantum computing. This book covers the main events that led to the development of quantum physics, from the first experiments to the modern applications in quantum computing and ultra-precise clocks.

Follow the evolution of quantum physics not only through complex mathematical formulas but through the description of the main experiments that led to the most important discoveries in this field.

From Young to Schrödinger. From Planck to the ongoing research work on quantum computers at Google, IBM, and other tech companies. With this book, you’ll learn about the scientists who contributed most to the development of quantum physics, and you’ll read about the challenges they faced and the discoveries they made.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Tom Spokane - Goodreads ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Carl J. Pratt in his book Quantum Physics for Beginners, provides an approachable treatise on the very complex theories of QP. He unpacks for the layperson the essences of QP. The text is a near perfect introduction to mysteries of the subatomic universe. I recommend this book to those who have a passing interest in Quantum Physics."

Rebecca White - Goodreads ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I was very interested in what I learned about quantum physics from this book. Recommend this book if you want to know more too"

Gayla Gomes - Goodreads ⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Have you heard something about quantum physics? Are you perhaps curious about it? This book is quite interesting. There are several scientists who have had a hand in streamlining this theory and this book is a collection of their thoughts. You really don't need a background in science to get an idea about what quantum physics is. This book tries to explain it in simple terms."

Tim Null - Goodreads ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I've attempted to read many books on quantum physics but this one I was actually able to finish. I was also able to comprehend what was being discussed. If you're quantum physics curious, this is the book to read."

Angelina Pelova - Goodreads ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I have had no dealings with physics since I finished high school over 30 years ago, so the idea of reading a book about quantum physics was pretty intimidating to me and I have been putting it off for months. I have been looking for a book that seemed most basic (if this is at all possible!) and am happy with my choice."

Rory Fox - Goodreads ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"The author gives a historical overview of the developments of Quantum Theories. He shows, for example, how wave particle duality came out of Nineteenth century Physics, rather than out of any specific aspect of the Quantum Mechanics which it is often associated with.
The overview is helpful as it shows how ideas built upon each other. It also includes some charming details which give colour to the lives of the Scientists mentioned. We hear, for example how Schrodinger turned up to deliver a Physics lecture, but he was such a contrarian that he decided to talk about Philosophy instead. And he proceeded to do so, until the protests from the audience forced him to go back to Physics. Perhaps that was an example of the idiosyncratic mindset which enabled him to come up with the equations for which he is well known? [...]
Overall, this was written clearly and simply enough to be accessible by High School Students."

Tiffany Towsend - Goodreads ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Simplified, quantum physics is the study of how all things work.
Chapters are short, and each offers an insight into a topic that at one time was only for higher intellect, is now explained in an easy to follow format
Check out this book to understand what it means when no one is around to witness an event"

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Carl's father was an astronomer and that is where his interest in all the mysteries of the universe began. As a youngster, he enjoyed nothing better than watching the stars with his father and his brother, Homer.

Carl wanted to know more about the principles that govern everything around him. To satisfy his natural curiosity, studied physics and quantum mechanics in Europe.

Nowadays, he finds himself at the opposite end of life. Having had a satisfying career, he now has time to share his interest in science with readers that, like him, are curious in how the world works at a quantum scale. He likes to experiment and he recently started to learn coding with quantum computers.

Carl wants to share his knowledge and show how easy and rewarding it is to assimilate

the basics of science. In his opinion, you don't need a huge commitment to get started, only the desire to learn and a lot of curiosity.
