Quantum Physics Books

Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw explore the way quantum physics describes our material world in this accessible but still detailed book.

Quantum physics is one of the most complex concepts in modern physics and a number of books have come out in an effort to explain these quantum concepts to the general public. Here are some of them.

This book explores the life of Richard Feynman through his scientific work.

In this book, physicist and Anglican priest John Polkinghorne explores the similar methods used by science to inquire about quantum physics and theologians to inquire about Christ's life. An intriguing look into the mind of a thoughtful scientist and Christian.

Feynman, a graphic novel by Jim Ottaviani and Leland Myrick, explores the life and scientific work of famed twentieth century physicist Richard P. Feynman.

In his book, Programming the Universe: A Quantum Computer Scientist Takes on the Cosmos, MIT physicist and engineer Seth Lloyd explains not only quantum computing, but also the entire field of quantum information theory - the idea that the universe itself acts like a giant quantum computer.

In Quantum Enigma: Physics Encounters Consciousness, two physics professors explore the "skeleton in the closet" of quantum physics. What is the role of the observer, a conscious observer, in quantum theory? In lucid terms, the authors outline the issues and debates surrounding the quantum enigma.

Physics professor James Kakalios uses the adventures of pulp fiction heroes from the 1920's to 1930's (and beyond) to explain how quantum mechanics has transformed our world, turning many of the
