Release NotesIn the quantum world, a particle can behave like a wave and accordingly seems to
be in two places at the same time. This of course is contradictory to our daily
experiences with classical particles. How then should this be understood? What
happens in the transitional area between the classical world and quantum
mechanics? The present book answers exciting questions like these in a way that
is easy to follow and to understand and is shows that the link between these two
worlds will have concrete and applied effects on our daily life in the near
future. It will, for example, improve and change the conventional methods of
information processing. With the help of quantum cryptography, it will be
possible to communicate tap-proof. Using quantum computers we will be able to
solve highly complicated problems in a very short time.
