Dance of the Photons: From Einstein to Quantum Teleportation

by Anton Zeilinger

A popular (but not easy) science book by Austrian physicist Anton Zeilinger, winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics—along with Alain Aspect and John Clauser—”for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science.” (For an explanation of what that means, a good article can be found here). The book features two student characters—yes, their names are Alice and Bob—as they grapple with quantum entanglement.
