Summary
In this exhilarating and sometimes mind-bending book, renowned scientist and author Paul Davies tells the gripping story of how, beginning with an iconic mathematical equation in the 1920s, a radical new theory of nature – quantum mechanics – burst upon the modern world, and how today we are on the cusp of the second great quantum technology revolution.
Quantum 2.0 reveals how exotic states of matter that have no counterpart in the everyday world are being harnessed to enable…

Critics Review
Davies is one of the most imaginative scientists working today * Financial Times *
Even the most abstruse science acquires the clarity of exposition for which the author is justly renowned – Denis Noble, University of Oxford
You won’t find a clearer, more engaging guide to what we know (or would like to know) about the universe and how it is put together – Bill Bryson
Paul Davies always probes the deepest questions in science … His trademark talent: getting to the heart of the most technical aspects of science, without jargon and with down-to-earth analogies – Michael Berry, HH Wills Physics Laboratory
Quantum 2.0 is eminently readable - an impressive feat in itself. I really enjoyed it. Davies has done a great job of conveying how unfamiliar the quantum world can be, and how unexpected. And he’s done so without equations! – Vinton Cerf, Internet Pioneer and Computer Scientist
