Quantum Physics for Beginners: The Layman’s Guide to Understand How Everything Works. Look Into The Mind-blowing Secrets of Science in a Comprehensible Way, From String Theory to Quantum Computing

The book is great in theory, however I had some minor issues with it. There were many grammatical and punctuation errors that should have been caught in editing. There were also sentences in which words were used incorrectly, for example on page 105 “things you’ve always given for granted” should be things you’ve always taken for granted. I think this may be attributed to English not being a first language but I could not find any information on the author to support this. In any case, this also could have been fixed in editing and led to some sentences in the book not making any sense.

Quantum physics sounds intimidating but the author’s goal is to help the reader understand what quantum physics is in the easiest way possible. The book is easy to understand as the author explains quantum physics by looking at how the smallest pieces of the environment and universe affect our lives and by looking at various scientists that came up with the science behind it. It’s because of these scientists and their experiments and discoveries that we can understand quantum physics the way we do. The author explains radioactivity, the Franck Hertz experiment, what light really is, the Principle of Duality, Schrodinger’s Cat, and other principles that ultimately helped with understanding quantum physics. There are also examples explained of how we see quantum physics in our everyday lives such as with toasters, laser, fluorescent light, MRIs, and more. It’s really all quite fascinating.

I made it about a quarter of the way through before I had to give up. The editing is so bad one wonders if it were edited at all. Typos, misspellings, and entirely wrong words pepper every page. Worse, the pedagogy is atrocious. Full of unimportant personal details, bits of theories with no conclusions, and conclusions without theoretical explanation, I don’t believe one could learn to make toast if “taught” in this way. I doubt anyone leaving a five-star review even read it. Truly a terrible book.

This must be self published or had no editor. Incomplete sentences so you need to read and re-read to make sense of some parts. Content is OK and I did learn some interesting information.

Quantum Physics is how the entire universe works. Learn everything from black holes to string theory and everything in between. Quantum Physics is a large topic but the author does a great job at explaining everything in an easy to understand way. Anyone who wants to learn how things work will like this book.

I'm completely new to quantum mechanics, the topic described in the book so I was hoping for a useful entrance ramp. The book is sophomoric in tone and poorly organized. It's chatty in tone and uninformative - I read a third of it before giving up. I didn't learn anything useful about quantum mechanics. Total waste of money.

I cannot recommend this book. It is just poorly executed and really needs to be rewritten.

I quickly read about a third of the book before deciding to return it. I know a lot of reviewers like it. My opinion is the book tries to over simplify by stating conclusions without explanation. Rather than making Quantum Physics simpler it leaves out explanation which actually does not help understanding. It may not be possible to explain quantum physics to a beginner? If you are comfortable with some Physics the book content is unsatisfactory. If you really are a beginner I could see one being baffled by unavoidable inclusion of mathematical and physical terms. There are other books making a much better job of understanding Quantum Physics that do not require a degree in Physics.

I have always been passionate about quantum physics and all the mysteries of the universe, but I never had the courage to undertake a study of this kind because I always thought it was for wise and graduated people. This book has been fantastic and it doesn't just limit itself to complicated formulas, it focuses on explaining the basic concepts of quantum physics and helps to understand it in the simplest way possible.

I have long been looking for a book that best explained this topic and this is definitely the best I have read.I found no difficulty in understanding, all written in a very simple and clear way, explained step by step.Even the most complex concepts have been explained in an excellent way simplifying them as much as possible.

I am a very curious person, and although I am more inclined toward the humanities, I have always been interested in physics, ever since high school and after having Big Bang Theory. This book on quantum physics, with simple and clear language, helps you explore the intricacies of this complicated subject even if you are not an expert.
