Summary:
The
Quantum
Age
, the revolution led by
our
understanding of the
very
,
very
small
. Atoms, electrons, and photons of light are all
quantum
particles, acting totally unlike the objects we experience. This weird
quantum
behavior lies at the heart of every electronic device and powers lasers in everything from DVDs to eye correction. It is also behind
quantum
biology, the astonishing new realization that biological functions, from
our
ability to see and photosynthesis in plants to the amazing ability of birds to navigate, rely directly on
quantum
effects.
