Synopsis
Alice is about to enter a whole new Wonderland. It's Quantumland—a kind of intellectual amusement park, smaller than an atom, where each attraction demonstrates a different aspect of quantum theory. There she'll meet an Emperor who thinks his new clothes into existence,
dance with the Three Quark Brothers at the Particle MASSquerade,
travel back in time (running into herself), and experience all kinds of quantum effects. Readers will learn about the Uncertainty Principle, wave functions, the Pauli Principle, and other elusive concepts.
Vancouver Sun
It takes quantum physics to the level of adventurous science fiction.... It is based on Alice in Wonderland and includes characters like the uncertain accountant and the state agent who shows Alice how items can be two places at once. It explains the basics in a fun read.
