- catalog abstract ""Because atomic behavior is so unlike ordinary experience," wrote Richard Feynman, "it is very difficult to get used to, and it appears strange and mysterious to everyone - both to the novice and to the experienced physicist." At the core of the strange behavior lies quantum interference: "In reality," Feynman wrote, "it contains the only mystery." To author Mark Silverman, however, the puzzling nature of quantum behavior is multifaceted. By examining a few conceptually simple models, such as the two-level atom and the two-slit interferometer, Silverman probes the perplexing consequences of the "ghostly" long-range effects that correlated particles exert on each other, the deep connection between spin and the statistics of identical particles, and the fundamental role of topology in the interactions of charged particles and electromagnetic fields. Silverman - whose experimental and theoretical work on electron interferometry, atomic spectroscopy, and the optics of chiral media is internationally recognized - concludes authoritatively: There is more than one mystery in the intriguing world of quantum mechanics.".
