Quantum Physics in Minutes offers the fastest way to understanding quantum physics, providing insights into how our universe works within minutes.

Quantum physics is the most fundamental, yet the most bewildering, of sciences. From simultaneously dead-and-alive cats, teleportation, antimatter to parallel universes, it not only underpins all digital technology but also life itself. This clear and compact book, illuminated with 200 simple diagrams, makes it possible for anyone to understand the strange and beautiful subatomic world, and consequently, the nature of reality itself.

Contents include topics such as inside the atom, the Higgs boson, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, SchrΓΆdinger's cat, relativity, dark energy and matter, black holes, God playing dice, the Theory of Everything, the birth and fate of the Universe, string theory, quantum computing, superconductivity, quantum biology and consciousness, and much more.
