In Search Of Schrodinger's Cat

In Search Of Schrödinger’s Cat is a primer for the magical, near inexplicable world of quantum mechanics ; where cats are both dead and alive, and electrons can be in all places at once until you look at them. Mind-blowing.

Precise yet mysterious... as beautiful as a poem and as exciting as a novel.

A gripping account of the history of quantum mechanics and a clear description of its significance - and weirdness. Absolutely fascinating.

John Gribbin is unsurpassed in his ability to convey scientific ideas in lively and accessible language. This new edition of his classic book deserves wide readership. It's specially welcome in the year that marks the centenary of quantum theory – which revolutionised our concept of nature and underpins most of modern technology.

John Gribbin gained a PhD from the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge (then under the leadership of Fred Hoyle) before working as a science journalist for Nature and later New Scientist. He is the author of several bestselling popular science books, including In Search of Schrödinger's Cat, Science: A History, In Search of the Multiverse, Quantum Computing, and Six Impossible Things . He is a Senior Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Sussex and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.
