5.0 out of 5 stars Must own collection for quantum physics, February 3, 2001

By 

Paul E. Oppenheimer ([e-mail]) (Mississippi State, Mississippi, U.S.A.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Quantum Theory and Measurement (Princeton Series in Physics) (Hardcover)

This is a must-own collection for anyone studying or working in quantum physics. These are the original papers concerning the so-called problem of measurement. Minority views are included; for instance, both parts of Bohm's 1952 paper are here. Not only physicists, but also historians and philosophers of science, will want to read these papers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Collection of Papers on the Subject, December 14, 2006

By 

D. Chapman (Northern California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Quantum Theory and Measurement (Princeton Series in Physics) (Paperback)

Includes the EPR paper, Schroedinger's cat paper, and many others.

My only quibble is that, because the book was written in 1983, the

Alain Aspect paper included is a very early one in the series.

The other book on this subject which I whole-heartedly recommend in

"Speakable and Unspeakable in Quantum Mechanics" by J. Bell.
