The Quantum Dissidents Rebuilding the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics (1950-1990) /

This book tells the fascinating story of the people and events behind the turbulent changes in attitudes to quantum theory in the second half of the 20th century. The huge success of quantum mechanics as a predictive theory has been accompanied, from the very beginning, by doubts and controversy abo...
