Über den Autor / die Autorin

Belal Ehsan Baaquie is a Professor at The International Centre for Education in Islamic Finance. He received his training in theoretical physics at the California Institute of Technology and Cornell University, New York, specializing in quantum field theory. He later developed an interest in finance and economics, and started applying quantum mathematics to these fields. He has written two books on quantum finance: Quantum Finance (Cambridge, 2007) and Interest Rates and Coupon Bonds in Quantum Finance (Cambridge, 2009) in addition to several other books focusing on topics from quantum mechanics and mathematics to books on the leading ideas in science.
