About this book

Alice in Quantumland: An Allegory of Quantum Physics by Gilmore, Robert. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780387914954.

Alice is about to enter a whole new Wonderland. Its Quantumland--a kind of intellectual amusement park, smaller than an atom, where each attraction demonstrates a different aspect of quantum theory. There shell meet an Emperor who thinks his new clothes into existence, dance with the Three Quark Brothers at the Particle MASSquerade, travel back in time (running into herself), and experience all kinds of quantum effects. Readers will learn about the Uncertainty Principle, wave functions, the Pauli Principle, and other elusive concepts.
