Quantum physics is notable for its brazen defiance of common sense. (Think of Schrödinger's Cat, famously both dead and alive.) An especially rigorous form of quantum contradiction occurs in experiments with entangled particles. Our common assumption is that objects have properties whether or not anyone is observing them, and the measurement of one can’t affect the other. Quantum entanglement—called by Einstein “spooky action at a distance”—rejects this assumption, offering impeccable reasoning and irrefutable evidence of the opposite. Is quantum entanglement mystical, or just mystifying? In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Jed Brody equips readers to decide for themselves. He explains how our commonsense assumptions impose constraints—from which entangled particles break free. Brody explores such concepts as local realism, Bell’s inequality, polarization, time dilation, and special relativity. He introduces readers to imaginary physicists Alice and Bob and their photon analyses; points out that it's easier to reject falsehood than establish the truth; and reports that some physicists explain entanglement by arguing that we live in a cross-section of a higher-dimensional reality. He examines a variety of viewpoints held by physicists, including quantum decoherence, Niels Bohr's Copenhagen interpretation, genuine fortuitousness, and QBism. This relatively recent interpretation, an abbreviation of “quantum Bayesianism,” holds that there's no such thing as an absolutely accurate, objective probability “out there,” that quantum mechanical probabilities are subjective judgments, and there's no “action at a distance,” spooky or otherwise. Review: Concise and clear - Quantum entanglement is a profound enigma. It's implications challenge our common sense of the material world we're familiar with. In this small but well written book, author Jed Brody explains what quantum entanglement is and outlines this explanation with experiments that reveal how it emerges. He is very clear on what we know and what remains a mystery. I found this an excellent book on the subject and recommend it for anyone who wants a good concise outline of what quantum entanglement is all about. Review: Quantum Mechanics for the layman - The author made a good attempt to present a broad range of the historical background and current theories in the physics community. If anything, he may be guilty of trying to cover too much in one book. I still recommend it for amateur physicists. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #127,103 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #34 in Relativity Physics (Books) #45 in Philosophy of Logic & Language #68 in Quantum Theory (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 252 Reviews | ## Images ![Quantum Entanglement (The MIT Press Essential Knowledge series) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61fhwZvMSzL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Concise and clear *by M***R on December 11, 2020* Quantum entanglement is a profound enigma.

If anything, he may be guilty of trying to cover too much in one book. I still recommend it for amateur physicists. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I REEIVED this order *by W***R on July 20, 2023* Contrary to my earlier communication, I received this order. It is an excellent book, accessible to non-physicists.
