About This Book
Quantum mechanics is no longer a matter of choice. It is a basic literacy required of all of us living in the present. The First Encounter of the Quantum World is a friendly and accessible guide that opens the door to the once intimidating and unfamiliar quantum realm for every reader.
Core concepts such as wave-particle duality, the uncertainty principle, quantum superposition, and entanglement are explained through vivid metaphors and engaging stories, making them immediately understandable even for readers without a background in mathematics. From the smartphones in our hands and the GPS we use every day to the internet, lasers, and the quantum computers that will shape the future, the book demonstrates how closely quantum mechanics is woven into everyday life.
In particular, quantum computers present a new paradigm with the power to transform nearly every aspect of our world, from Bitcoin security and financial systems to drug discovery and artificial intelligence. The author, Professor Eunmi Chae, earned her PhD at Harvard University and is currently an associate professor in the Department of Physics at Korea University. A young physicist researching ultracold molecules and quantum information, she places quantum mechanics at the heart of modern literacy and speaks to readers with clarity and warmth. From the moment you open this book, quantum mechanics is no longer a distant discipline but a part of your intellectual foundation.
