精彩摘录
  • "与电子相反,光子是玻色子。事实证明,玻色子行为恰与费米子行为相反。对于玻色子,没有不相容原理!玻色子喜欢待在相同的状态。它们与南欧人类似,乐意挤在同一节火车车厢中,而费米子则像北欧人,喜欢独自分散在整个列车上。玻色子的这个亲密现象,在最极端形式下,会引起在单个状态上一定程度的聚集,该现象叫作玻色凝聚。这个性质正是激光器等技术设备背后的原理。"
  • "Within a year, Max Planck, now a professor of physics in Berlin, had found a remarkable way out of the dilemma. He told his son that he believed he had made a discovery of equal significance to those of Newton. It might have seemed a grandiose claim to make, but Planck was simply speaking the sober "
  • "How could all those great 19th-century insights into the wave nature of light be reconciled with these new ideas? After all, a wave is a spread-out, flappy thing, while a quantum is particlelike, a kind of little bullet. How could both possibly be true? For a long while physicists just had to live w"
  • "He took a piece of chalk and broke it in two. Placing one fragment on one side of his lectern and the other on the other side, Dirac said that classically there is a state where the piece of chalk is ‘here’ and one where the piece of chalk is ‘there’, and these are the only two possibilities. Replac"
  • "In someone like Schrödinger, the issue evoked more than perplexity. It filled him with distaste and he said that if he had known that his ideas would have led to this ‘damn quantum jumping’ he would not have wished to discover his equation!"
  • "Classical physics describes a world that is clear and determinate. Quantum physics describes a world that is cloudy and fitful."
  • "If abstract theory is to make sense of physical observations, there must be a way of associating numbers (the results of observations) with operators (the mathematical formalism)."
  • "Einstein, through his explanation of the photoelectric effect, had been one of the grandfathers of quantum theory. However, he came to detest his grandchild. Like the vast majority of physicists, Einstein was deeply convinced of the reality of the physical world and trusted in the truthful reliabili"

用户评论
写得挺详细,重在科学史,没学术性
作者是个故事大王,把这段历史串得很好,但不免有点野(难免断章取义)~这本算是读大部头正史之前的热身吧~
对这场论战太好奇了,竟然有这本专著,哈哈,太高兴了;量子力学简史,读来令人兴奋不已
极力推荐,想要了解物理学在1858至1987的发展只读这本就行了,人物关系,成果,轶事,成长经历都描述得特别详细,可以说是一本有关量子力学人物的传纪
既不是历史又不是科普
非常精彩,一口气看完。在那个群星璀璨的年代,令人向往。
把理论发展和人物传记给揉在一起了,读起来比较有画面感。
大幕刚拉开的时候就是天才频出的时代,现今物理学走到了晦涩的暗处,进步太难了,另外关于量子理论,还是倾向于爱因斯坦的想法,不统一太难受了。关于图书,相比之下《上帝掷骰子吗》故事性更强,更有些江湖的意味,甚至有点《奥术神座》的感觉。而《量子理论》更多的是从科学辩论出发,一层层的推进。
看到18/09/16徐汇图书馆逾期费清单…
对量子世界的每一次尝试了解,都愈加震惊于量子世界的不可思议。 世界是现实的吗,没有观察者时一切真的不存在吗,概率是一切的本质吗,物理学到底是描述世界的本质还是墙上的片影,爱因斯坦一次次向哥本哈根解释挥去的剑锋,终究只是无力和错误的吗,我们怎样能够了解这无穷大的宇宙和无穷小的微观? 物理学的每一次颠覆都是同时对知识和哲学观的颠覆,每次纠缠交锋也是哲学观的交锋。自然事实是这一切的冷酷无情铁面无私的最终裁决者,它会依赖于观察者才存在吗? 书的内容是很不错的,有大量个人小传可以了解各位剑客生平,不过有些部分语言比较绕,读起来有困难。
