Ken Fords mission is to help us understand the ";great ideas"; of quantum physics-ideas such as wave-particle duality, the uncertainty principle, superposition, and conservation. These fundamental concepts provide the structure for 101 Quantum Questions, an authoritative yet engaging book for the general reader in which every question and answer brings out one or more basic features of the mysterious world of the quantum-the physics of the very small. Nuclear researcher and master teacher, Ford covers everything from quarks, quantum jumps, and what causes stars to shine, to practical applications ranging from lasers and superconductors to light-emitting diodes. Fords lively answers are enriched by Paul Hewitt's drawings, numerous photos of physicists, and anecdotes, many from Fords own experience. Organized for cover-to-cover reading, 101 Quantum Questions also is great for browsing.Some books focus on a sin
