New physics offered surprising realities, such as wave-particle duality, and led to major inventions: the transistor, the laser, and today's computers. Less known is the second quantum revolution, arguably initiated in 1935 during a debate between giants Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr. This revolution is still unfolding. Its revolutionaries--including the author of this short accessible book, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Alain Aspect--explore the notion of entangled particles, able to interact at seemingly impossible distances. Aspect's research has helped to show how entanglement may both upend existing technologies, like cryptography, and usher in entirely new ones, like quantum computing. Explaining this physics of the future, this work tells a story of how philosophical debates can shape new realities.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Einstein and the Quantum Revolutions | Alain Aspect | Hardcover | 9780226832012 | New | Science \u0026 Math 1689202","offer_id":50808064573698,"sku":"1689202","price":30.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71CjvhehEWL.jpg?v=1792459210","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/einstein-and-the-quantum-revolutions","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
