The Age of Entanglement: When Quantum Physics was Reborn

The Age of Entanglement talks about entanglement and quantum physics. More accurately, it presents the conversations of the physicists as they talked about it. This is barely a step above a primary source. I would prefer a little more narrative in the structure. There are ties to Einstein, the atomic bomb and the red scare. Some people create complex proofs, while others find more simple ones. There is also a relationship between the philosophy and science. Qunatum phsyics creates a number of philosophical dilemmas that require efforts from scientists and philosophers. There are also a difference in the work by theorists and sentimentalists. They are all on the forefront of physics. Alas, this book will give you a lot of history of the process of learning, but not a quick summary of the science that was learned.
