Reviews

This is a beautifl and clear exposition of how quantum interference, non-locality and long-range correlations interweave to produce characteristically quantum effects that have no classical counterparts. - Nature ...illuminating and stimulating...one of the best sources of material on current aspects of modern physics - Contemporary Physics
