5.0 out of 5 stars Accessible quantum mechanics, July 20, 2009
By 
This review is from: Quantum Reality: Theory and Philosophy (Paperback)
This is an excellent exposition of a notoriously difficult subject. Aimed at a general audience, but not dumbed down, it explains the experimental basis of quantum theory, provides enough of the math to get a sense of how the theory works, and presents a nice tour of the various interpretations of QM, as well as an explanation of why an interpretation is needed. My only quibble is that Allday ignores Huw Price's "Retrocausation" interpretation. I will be teaching a course in Philosophy of Quantum Mechanics at UCSB this Winter Quarter, and plan to use this book as a text.
