Veiled Reality

Bernard DEspagnat
Paperback - $126.95

While quantum mechanics appears as being the most basic element of contemporary physics, its meaning remains mysterious to the very physicists who make use of it, and is acknowledged as such by all those among them who care about such questions. The ...

Reasoning in Quantum Theory : Sharp and Unsharp Quantum Logics

Maria Luisa Dalla Chiara
Hardcover - $292.95

"Is quantum logic really logic?" This book argues for a positive answer to this question once and for all. There are many quantum logics and their structures are delightfully varied. The most radical aspect of quantum reasoning is reflected in unshar ...
