Testing Quantum Mechanics on New Ground

Zusammenfassung Technological advances make it possible to perform experiments which test the counterintuitive and bizarre consequences of quantum theory. Suitable for non-specialists! this book provides simple accounts of these experiments and an understanding of what they aim to prove and why this is important.
