Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2024. — 396 p. The famously controversial 1935 paper by Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen (EPR) took aim at the heart of the flourishing field of quantum mechanics. The paper provoked responses from the leading theoretical physicists of the day, and brought entanglement and nonlocality to the forefront of discussion. This book looks back at...
Cambridge University Press, 2009. — 556 p. The 1927 Solvay conference was perhaps the most important meeting in the history of quantum theory. Contrary to popular belief, the interpretation of quantum theory was not settled at this conference, and no consensus was reached. Instead, a range of sharply conflicting views were presented and extensively discussed, including de...
Oxford University Press, 2011. — 469 p. Utterly beautiful. Profoundly disconcerting. Quantum theory is quite simply the most successful account of the physical universe ever devised. Its concepts underpin much of the twenty-first century technology that we now take for granted. But at the same time it has completely undermined our ability to make sense of the world at its most...
Oxford University Press, 2024. — 352 p. It was not a question of whether light should be pictured as waves or particles, or atoms as solar systems, but of whether the microworld could be pictured at all. The famous debate between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr reached beyond quantum physics to the deepest foundations of science. Faced with the ever more perplexing...
Springer, 2023. — 228 p. In a highly accessible style, this book presents a narrative history of the quantum theory with the new developments that intrigue all inquisitive minds. Quantum theory is counter-intuitive and sometimes downright weird. Even Nobel Laureate physicists like Richard Feynman admit that they do not understand it. Yet, so far, there is not a shred of...

North Holland, Elsevier Science Publishers, 1986, 693 pages
''Nuclear Physics'' deals with Bohr's work on nuclear physics which began in the pre-1932 days with his thinking deeply, but inconclusively about the seeming contradictions then presented by the evidence about the nucleus. In 1936, Bohr recognised and described the insights provided by neutron scattering experiments;...

Hawking insisted that anything that fell into a black hole disappeared. But Susskind and the Dutch physicist Gerard t'Hooft...
Pergamon Press, 1967. — 206 p. Although it is well known that for a proper discussion of atomic properties one needs wave mechanics and that the old quantum theory developed by Bohr, Sommerfeld, Kramers and many others between 1913 and 1926 is not a proper basis, there are many atomic phenomena which receive at least a qualitative explanation in the old quantum theory. An...
