Testing quantum mechanics on new ground
"Recent technological advances have made it possible to perform experiments, once considered to be purely gedanken, which test the counterintuitive and bizarre consequences of quantum theory. This book provides simple accounts of these experiments and an understanding of what they aim to prove and why this is important." "Suitable for non-specialists, this book will appeal to graduate students and researchers interested in the physics and philosophy of quantum theory."--Jacket.
