Understanding Heisenberg

Quantum mechanics has been a cultivated mystery for decades. It is generally accepted that one must accept the phenomena underlying it because they are fundamentally incomprehensible. The authors of this compact introduction put an end to that. With their alternative approach, they demonstrate that quantum mechanics can indeed be understood. By avoiding complicated derivations, they focus on the essentials, thereby facilitating access to the fascinating science of the very small.
