Description: Short for Quantum Bayesianism, QBism adapts conventional features of quantum mechanics in light of a revised understanding of probability. Using commonsense language, without the equations or weirdness of conventional quantum theory, Hans Christian von Baeyer clarifies the meaning of quantum mechanics and suggests a new approach to general physics.
Brief description: Hans Christian von Baeyer is Chancellor Professor of Physics, Emeritus, at the College of William and Mary.
Review Quotes: Hans Christian von Baeyer has done a wonderful job with this book. I've been fortunate enough to learn QBism twice in my life. The first time, it was the hard way, as colleagues and I battled out every nuance of the forming theory, always testing and retesting, tearing down and reconstructing--we had to turn our world upside down to get there. But the second time was pure pleasure as I learned the subject afresh from Professor von Baeyer's masterful articulation of it. So many of his turns of phrase are insightful gems I never could have formulated myself. Now for the first time I believe I know how to teach the subject, and there is no better understanding one can have than that!--Christopher A. Fuchs, Professor of Physics, University of Massachusetts Boston, and key architect of QBism
