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.
