Résumé

This book is the most complete collection of John S Bell's research papers, review articles and lecture notes on the foundations of quantum mechanics. Some of this material has hitherto been difficult to access. The book also appears in a paperback edition, aimed at students and young researchers.

This volume will be very useful to researchers in the foundations and applications of quantum mechanics.

L'auteur - Kurt Gottfried

Born in Vienna, Kurt Gottfried emigrated to Canada in 1939 and received his Ph.D. in theoretical physics from MIT in 1955. He is professor of physics at Cornell University, and had previously been at Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and at CERN in Geneva. He is the co-author of "Concepts of Particle Physics" (with V.F. Weisskopf), and of "The Fallacy of Star Wars and Crisis, Stability, and Nuclear War". Gottfried has an active interest in arms control and human rights and is a founder and currently the Chair of the Union of Concerned Scientists.
