The Quantum Universe by Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw

The Quantum Universe by Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw

Cox and Forshaw's unusual promise is that they will explain quantum mechanics properly, including some of the mathematics, without requiring anything beyond school-level arithmetic — and that the popular metaphors most books rely on are actually part of the problem.

They build from Feynman's clock-hands picture of quantum probability up through the Pauli exclusion principle, and use it to explain something genuinely surprising: why matter takes up space, why atoms have the structure they do, and why the sun does not collapse. The chapter on why solids are solid is the best in the book.

A more rigorous alternative to the usual popular quantum book, from a working physicist and a science communicator.
