Exploring the Quantum. Atoms, Cavities, and Photons, Paperback/***

The quantum world obeys logic at odds with common sense intuition. This weirdness is directly displayed in recent experiments juggling with isolated atoms and photons. They are reviewed in this book, combining theoretical insight and experimental description, and providing useful illustrations for learning and teaching of quantum mechanics.
