This book is intended for someone who doesn’t know anything about quantum
mechanics but does know about science is general. A basic ‘hobby’ level
knowledge is enough to get you started and I’ll fill in the blanks.
By the end of this book, you will know all the types of particles that quantum
physics has discovered and most of the roles they play. You will know the
major players in the foundation of quantum mechanics, the experiments they
performed and why it was so important.
I will also discuss some real-world applications of quantum mechanics and how they work. Finally, we will briefly touch on the philosophical implications of quantum mechanics.
Chapters include:
Physiological Effects of Radiation
Young
Plank
Black Body Radiation
Einstein
Bohr
Heisenberg
Schrodinger
Concepts
Observation
Quantum Field Theories
Quantum Electrodynamics – QED
Quantum Chromodynamics – QCD
Electroweak Unification
Types of Particles
Recent Experiments
Applications
The Copenhagen Interpretation
Many Worlds
