Contents:
Historical perspective -- Present situation, remaining conceptual difficulties -- The theorem of Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen -- Bell theorem -- Other inequalities, Cirelson's limit, signaling -- More theorems -- Quantum entanglement -- Applications of quantum entanglement -- Quantum measurement -- Experiments : quantum reduction seen in real time -- Various interpretations and reconstructions of quantum mechanics -- Conclusion.
Summary: "Quantum mechanics is a fantastically successful theory that has impacted on many areas of physics, from pure theory to applications. However, it is difficult to interpret, and philosophical contradictions and counter-intuitive results are apparent at a fundamental level. In this book, Laloë presents our current understanding of the theory"-- Provided by publisher.
