Quantum: A Guide for the Perplexed, By Jim Al-Khalili
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Appropriately for a discipline characterised by Schrödinger's cat "in the embarrassing state of being both dead and alive simultaneously", this guide may leave the reader enlightened and perplexed at the same time.
Reassuringly, the pros feel the same. After guiding us through such tantalising phenomena as decoherence, Al-Khalili notes that the "harmless nonsense" of Star Trek may not be all nonsense. "Teleportation is theoretically possible if only at the quantum scale for the time being."
