Quantum superposition is the most distinctive and puzzling feature of
quantum physics. This book presents a clear and engaging discussion of
the role of quantum superposition in diverse quantum phenomena. The
author, whose extensive experimental and theoretical work helps
elucidate these processes, also examines how macroscopic quantum
coherence may be able to extricate physics from its most challenging
quandary, the collapse of a massive degenerate star to a singularity in
space in which the laws of physics break down. Explained by a physicist
with a concern for clarity and experimental achievability, the
extraordinary nature of quantum superposition will fascinate the reader
not only for its apparent strangeness, but also for its
comprehensibility.
