The Strange World of Quantum Mechanics Daniel F. Styer
Publisher: Cambridge University Press

(Phys.org) —In the strange world of quantum mechanics, the vacuum state (sometimes referred to as the quantum vacuum, simply as the vacuum) is a quantum system's lowest possible energy state. And you don't need to know the math behind Planck's Constant to delve into the strange world of quantum mechanics. The weird world of quantum mechanics includes innumerable counterintuitive phenomena. The violation of locality only occurs within our macrosopic description of the quantum event. Recent experiments have begun to demonstrate how the weird world of quantum mechanics gives way to the familiarity of everyday experience. Their accomplishment, however, has less to fluctuations into real photons. The simple thought experiment presented (dealing with Albert's socks) allows the reader to explore the weird world of quantum physics, an experience that likely will challenge the reader's view on reality. The strange world of quantum mechanics just got a little stranger with the discovery that a magnetic field can control the flow of heat from from one body to another. With a variation on the famous double-slit experiment of quantum mechanics, scientists Yves Couder and Emmanuel Fort from the University of Paris 7 are rewriting the textbooks. So even in the strange world of Quantum Mechanics psychics and mystics cannot find scientific sanctuary. On a macroscopic scale the universe appears very rational, and yet on closer inspection things are not quite what they seem.
