Chapter 18 gave a selective account of the historical development of quantum mechanics. There was a certain tension between the theory’s success at making accurate predictions and its silence regarding what the world is made of or how that stuff behaves when we’re not looking. In this chapter we’ll push further into both sides of that dichotomy. A parade of successes will come first, ranging from a revolution in the field of chemistry to the laser and semiconductorSemiconductor technologies underlying computers and the internet. Then we’ll look more deeply into why some scientists find quantum mechanics unsatisfying or even flawed, despite the successes.

摘要

Chapter 18 gave a selective account of the historical development of quantum mechanics. There was a certain tension between the theory’s success at making accurate predictions and its silence regarding what the world is made of or how that stuff behaves when we’re not looking. In this chapter we’ll push further into both sides of that dichotomy. A parade of successes will come first, ranging from a revolution in the field of chemistry to the laser and semiconductorSemiconductor technologies underlying computers and the internet. Then we’ll look more deeply into why some scientists find quantum mechanics unsatisfying or even flawed, despite the successes.
