Detailed Analyses of Selected Gedankenexperiments. 520 This book shines bright light into the dim recesses of quantum theory, where the mysteries of entanglement, nonlocality, and wave collapse have motivated some to conjure up multiple universes, and others to adopt a "shut up and calculate" mentality. After an extensive and accessible introduction to quantum mechanics and its history, the author turns attention to his transactional model. Using a quantum handshake between normal and time-reversed waves, this model provides a clear visual picture explaining the baffling experimental results that flow daily from the quantum physics laboratories of the world. To demonstrate its powerful simplicity, the transactional model is applied to a collection of counter-intuitive experiments and conceptual problems. 650 0 Quantum theory. |=^A19752 650 0 Quantum entanglement. |=^A1244189 700 1 Mead, Carver, |eauthor of introduction, etc. |=^A114542 776 08 |iElectronic reproduction (manifestation)Cramer, John G. |tThe quantum handshake : entanglement, nonlocality, and transactions |dCham : Springer, 2011 |w(OCoLC)933587182 949 |i30372016627678 |ojjlm 960 |o1 |s69.99 |tJoyner48 |uJAPP |zUSD 596 1 998 4418330
