Part of my job is emerging technology so I've got to stay up to date and it can be a huge chore. I read a lot of books from O'Reilly which are highly informative but also sort of like eating your vegetables (if you are a person who doesn't like vegetables). That's why I liked this book enough to review it.
Quantum physics is a topic so complex it has stumped even the most brilliant minds. It was a point of contention between Albert Einstein and Neils Bohr. So what chance do us mere mortals have? Well, that's where this book comes in (and others like it).
Quantum physics and quantum computing are even bigger than AI. Anyone who's even remotely interested in the topic will run headfirst into a lot of math and physics. I liked how this book makes crazy topics like Quantum tunneling understantable. It's a handy, accessible field guide to the topics underlying the science and if you take the time to read through it, you will likely be more conversant.

If you've ever been curious about quantum physics but felt overwhelmed by all the complex jargon, this book does a great job of breaking things down in a way that's easy to understand. It covers the basics-like wave-particle duality, superposition, and entanglement-without diving too deep into heavy math.
The writing is clear, and the examples help make tricky concepts more digestible. While it won't turn you into a quantum physicist overnight, it's a solid starting point for anyone looking to grasp the fundamentals without getting lost. Perfect for beginners.

Quantum Physics was made simple. Honestly, it was easy to understand thanks to the simple samples given by Orion Wells. The complexity of the concepts was made fun to follow and actually grasp. The book has high-quality images. This is a good and enjoyable read that made me proud to understand and provided a few "aha moments" that made me realize how cool and easy science can be.

I must admit, I was completely ignorant about quantum physics before reading this book. This book is a masterful introduction to the fascinating world of quantum physics. It has clear explanations and relatable examples. It unpacks complex concepts like superposition, wave-particle duality, and quantum entanglement, making them easy for readers like myself, who have zero science background. It bridges the gap between theory and real-world applications, exploring topics like quantum computing, AI, and everyday quantum phenomena. A perfect guide that unravels the mysteries of the quantum realm!
