This book is an original first approach to quantum physics the core of modern physics It combines the competence of a well known researcher in quantum information science and the freshness in style of two high school students Quantum physics is known to be challenging for two reasons it describes counter intuitive phenomena and employs rather advanced mathematics The description of traditional quantum phenomena the structure of atoms and molecules the properties of solids the zoology of sub atomic particles does indeed involve the whole formalism However some other striking phenomena somehow the most typically quantum ones can be described using only high school mathematical skills This approach exploits this fact thus making it possible for a beginner to tackle mind boggling experiments like teleportation and the violation of Bell s inequalities and practice notions like superposition entanglement and decoherence
