Most  but certainly not all  of the experiments we describe are optical experiments involving a very small number of photons (particles of light). We begin with experiments on the wave-particle duality of electrons  proceed to experiments on the particle nature of light and single photon interference  delayed choice experiments and interaction-free detection  then go on to experiments involving the interference of two photons  quantum entanglement and Bells Theorem  quantum teleportation  large-scale quantum effects and the divide between the classical and quantum worlds  addressing the question as to whether or not there is such a divide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44958172479541,"sku":"ByrdShop_0199666563","price":83.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780199666560.jpg?v=1770367371","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-quantum-divide-why-schrodingers-cat-is-either-dead-or-alive","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
