Overview
Este libro presenta el trabajo por el cual Alain Aspect se ganó el título de «pionero de la segunda revolución cuántica». Es también el resultado de su fascinación por la historia de la física del último siglo, que aquí nos narra en un recorrido desde la figura de Max Planck y las disputas entre Albert Einstein y Niels Bohr sobre la interpretación de la mecánica cuántica hasta los estudios de John Stewart Bell en los años sesenta, para terminar con el Premio Nobel que le otorgaron en 2022 al propio Aspect.
Si Einstein lo hubiera sabido expone los experimentos que el autor llevó a cabo entorno al entrelazamiento cuántico y cuyos hallazgos hasta entonces solo se habían podido plantear mediante hipótesis, y que nos abrieron nuevos caminos para la comprensión del universo. Gracias a un genuino esfuerzo por acercarnos a la física contemporánea, el libro de Aspect nos hace partícipes de un diálogo fascinante entre algunas de las mentes más brillantes de la historia, al tiempo que nos invita a emanciparnos de la visión de Einstein del mundo cuántico.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
God is actually rolling the dice with the universe. The 2022 Nobel Prize winner in Physics collects a century of debates and scientific breakthroughs.
This book shares the work by which Alain Aspect won the title of “pioneer of the second quantum revolution.” It is also result of his fascination for the history of physics in the last century, which he recounts from the figure of Max Planck and the disputes between Albert Einstein and Neils Bohr about the interpretation of quantum mechanics, to Jon Stewart Bell’s studies in the nineteen sixties, finishing with the Nobel Prize Aspect himself received in 2022.
If Einstein Had Known portrays the experiments the author conducted on quantum entanglement, the findings of which up till then had only been established through hypothesis, opening new paths to understanding the universe. Because of his genuine efforts to draw us near to contemporary physics, Aspect’s book makes us participants of a fascinating dialogue among some of the most brilliant minds in history, all the while inviting us to emancipate from Einstein’s vision of the quantum realm.
