Quantum Mechanics at the Crossroads

Abstract

The books in this collection are devoted to challenging and open problems at the forefront of modern physics and related disciplines, including philosophical debates. In contrast to typical research monographs, however, they strive to present their topics in a manner accessible also to scientifically literate non-specialists wishing to gain insight into the deeper implications and fascinating questions involved. Taken as a whole, the series reflects the need for a fundamental and interdisciplinary approach to modern science. It is intended to encourage scientists in all areas to ponder over important and perhaps controversial issues beyond their own speciality. Extending from quantum physics and relativity to entropy, time and consciousness the Frontiers Collection will inspire readers to push back the frontiers of their own knowledge.
