Einstein's Entanglement

Reviews / Votes

Presents a compelling and interesting novel approach to making sense of quantum mechanics. * Emily Adlam, Chapman University, Orange, California * Mark Stuckey and his co-authors perform a rigorous reconstruction of quantum theory, drawing inspiration from the elegant axiomatic foundations of special relativity in Einstein's Entanglement. At the centre of the authors transformative principle is an information-theoretic interpretation of the quantum state that unravels many counterintuitive aspects of quantum theory in an appealing and natural way. * Caslav Brukner, Science Director of the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI), Vienna * Einstein's Entanglement is an engaging introduction to all-at-once physics, offering a simple and compelling new axiomatization of quantum mechanics, which demonstrates the power of the all-at-once approach while also revealing intriguing connections with special relativity. * Emily Adlam, Schmid College of Science and Technology, Philosophy and Physics, Chapman University * Stuckey et al. have been doing "all-at-once" physics since before it was cool. Their use of a simple principle, treating past and future in the same manner, looks like a great starting point for making sense of quantum entanglement. * Ken Wharton, Professor of Physics & Astronomy, San Jose State University * Written at a relatively elementary level, this insightful and engaging treatment of quantum entanglement shows how an information-theoretic approach inspired by Einsteinas methodology in the special theory of relativity can demystify what Schroedinger called the characteristic trait of quantum mechanics, making the departure from classical thinking more natural and comprehensible. * Jeffrey Bub, Distinguished University Professor in the Department of Philosophy and the Joint Center for Quantum Information and Computer Science, University of Maryland *
