Quanta and fields : the biggest ideas in the universe / by Carroll, Sean,1966-author.(CARDINAL)544558;
Wave functions -- Measurement -- Entanglement -- Fields -- Interactions -- Effective field theory -- Scale -- Symmetry -- Gauge theory -- Phases -- Matter -- Atoms -- Appendix: Fourier transforms."In the second book of this already internationally acclaimed series, Sean Carroll, the most trusted explainer of the most mind-boggling concepts, digs deep into matter itself. What is the universe made of? In his quest to redefine the "popular" treatment of the biggest ideas in the universe, Sean Carroll is creating a profoundly new approach to physics and math as reviewer after reviewer has attested. Adventuring in the math of fields, he now intrepidly guides readers into the fantastic depths of The Standard Model of particle physics illuminating the mysteries of quantum reality. The universe is made of atoms and Sean Carroll explains exactly what that means and how we know it"--
