Abstract

'pbNovie daily has been upset for about 30 years by a technological revolution based on objects such as transistor or laser. This would hardly have been possible without the contribution of quantum physics. In a book that is intended to be open to any cultured and not necessarily scientific audience, the author proposes to give the keys to understanding the functioning of emblematic objects created by quantum engineering such as laser diodes or atomic clocks, as well as recent research issues such as cold atoms or condensates of Bose-Einstein while avoiding some elaborate mathematical formalism. It explores in depth the principles of what Alain Aspect has called the “second quantum revolution” based on the concept of intrication, addressing both fundamental issues such as non-locality and recent developments in cryptography and quantum computing. Finally, in the last two chapters he gave an updated discussion of the problems posed by the fundamentals of quantum theory.’/pb’pb’ibpt from the preface of Alain Aspect: ‘/ib’ The book by Michel Le Bellac has the immense merit of drawing the consequences of recent advances, and of summarising the concepts underlying the two quantum revolutions. . . He was able to identify the key points and choose some important examples, without stirring the reader under an accumulation of phenomena’.
