Informationen zum Autor J. S. Bell is a distinguished physicist well known for his work on the conceptual foundations of quantum mechanics, who died in 1990. Klappentext This book comprises all of John Bell's published and unpublished papers in the field of quantum mechanics! including two papers that appeared after the first edition was published. It also contains a preface written for the first edition! and an introduction by Alain Aspect that puts into context Bell's great contribution to the quantum philosophy debate. One of the leading expositors and interpreters of modern quantum theory! John Bell played a major role in the development of our current understanding of the profound nature of quantum concepts.
