The past decade has witnessed a resurgence in research and interest in the areas of quantum computation and entanglement. This new book addresses the hidden worlds or variables of quantum physics. Author Gérard Gouesbet studied and worked with a former student of Louis de Broglie, a pioneer of quantum physics. His presentation emphasizes the history and philosophical foundations of physics, areas that will interest lay readers as well as professionals and advanced undergraduate and graduate students of quantum physics.The introduction is succeeded by chapters offering a background on relevant concepts in classical and quantum mechanics, a brief history of causal theories, and examination of the double solution, pilot wave, and other hidden-variable theories. Additional topics include proofs of possibility and impossibility, contextuality, non-locality, classification of hidden-variable theories, and stochastic quantum mechanics. The final section discusses how to gain a genuine understanding of quantum mechanics and presents a refutation of certain hidden-variable theories, including pilot wave.
