The emphasis is on physical understanding, which is necessary for the development of new, cutting edge science.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn particular, this book explains the basis for many standard quantum methods, which are too often presented without sufficient motivation or interpretation. The book is not a simplification or popularization: it is real science for real scientists. Physics includes math, and this book does not shy away from it, but neither does it hide behind it. Without conceptual understanding, math is gibberish. The discussions here provide the experimental and theoretical reasoning behind some of the great discoveries, so the reader may see how discoveries arise from a rational process of thinking, a process which \u003ci\u003eQuirky Quantum Concepts\u003c\/i\u003e makes accessible to its readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eQuirky Quantum Concepts\u003c\/i\u003e is therefore a supplement to almost any existing quantum mechanics text. Students and scientists will appreciate the combination of conversational style, which promotes understanding, with thorough scientific accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2014-02-05\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461493044\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4614-9305-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 361\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47671655760012,"sku":"9781461493044","price":40.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461493044.jpg?v=1776519291","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461493044","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
