Uantum Physics Simplicity AND Beauty: M M - T A P

The document summarizes two free downloadable PDF books that explore the foundations and applications of quantum physics in nature, life, and technology. Volume IV presents the basics of quantum theory with little math using puzzles from everyday life. Volume V explores motion inside matter and how quantum physics explains chemistry, biology, materials, stars, and more. Both volumes aim to make quantum physics compelling and surprising on every page through illustrations, photos, and puzzles.

The fascination of the quantum world in two free downloadable pdf books.

   

Explore the foundations of quantum physics and its applications in nature, life and technology.
Read about molecular motors, the counting of light quanta, and the effects of randomness in
nature. Enjoy the simplicity and beauty of microscopic motion. The volumes guarantee to be
interesting, vivid and surprising on every page: they include many colour animations,
photographs, riddles and curiosities. Reading about quantum effects is a fascinating adventure!

  Free download of volume IV : THE QUANTUM OF CHANGE        

  Free download of volume V : PLEASURE, TECHNOLOGY AND STARS        

Volume IV presents the foundations of quantum physics in a simple way, with little math, using
many puzzles and observations taken from everyday life. You can discover that colours, atoms
and living beings only exist because nature features a quantum of action, also called Planck's
constant. The quantum of action is the smallest possible change in nature; its existence leads to
wave functions, probabilities, tunnelling and to all colours around us. This volume is a simple
and appealing introduction to quantum mechanics, with all its fascination and its paradoxes. It
explains the Schrödinger equation and the behaviour of quantum particles.

Volume V explores motion inside matter: discover how chemistry, biology, material properties,
the solid state, stars, nuclear reactors and particle physics follow from the quantum of action. The
adventure leads from molecular motors in muscles to the colour of gems, from the working of
nerves to the processes that make volcanoes erupt. Explore the structure of DNA, gauge
symmetry, the Dirac equation, and the reasons that stars shine!

Get the printed volumes from AMAZON (in colour or in black & white).
