Report

Praise for Quanta and Fields:

Readers will be electrified by his discussion of wave functions, entanglement, fields, and so much more. From the most infinitesimal of subatomic particles to the seemingly vast infinities of the universe s great expanse, Carroll s latest inquiry illuminates, well, everything. Booklist

"In that void between hand-wavy popular science and academic textbook, this modern, informative and engaging account of quantum physics ticks all the boxes. Carroll the Explainer at his very best." Jim Al-Khalili
