Quantum Physics for Poets

”“A sparkling and articulate new account of how the quantum revolution changed 20th century science – and, as a further delight, how physics and poetry can speak the same language.”— Chicago Tribune“A little gem of a book on an enormously profound and, in many ways, a mysterious subject….”— Contemporary Physics Book Review“Lederman and Hill, two very well known physicists, have written in a prose that speaks to the poet in all of us. A delightful and illuminating guide through the mysteries of the quantum world.”–Gino Segré, department of physics and astronomy, University of Pennsylvania

Leon M. Lederman, Nobel Laureate, was the author of the highly acclaimed Quantum Physics for Poets and Symmetry and the Beautiful Universe (both coauthored with Christopher T.

He was formerly the Resident Scholar at the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy and Pritzker Professor of Science at the Illinois Institute of Technology, and he was director emeritus of Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.
