  • Fields and Their Quanta

    Making Sense of Quantum Foundations

    by Art Hobson ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Because of continuing debates about foundational issues as well as the recent consensus about non-locality, it is time to resolve the long-standing quantum enigmas. These include wave-particle duality, the double-slit experiment, quantum randomness, entanglement, superpositions, and measurement. This book presents that resolution, based on the insights that (1) quantum field theory tells us that ... Read more
