Finished Quantum: a guide for the perplexed

Yesterday, I finished reading 'Quantum: a guide for the perplexed' by Jim Al-Khalili. It is aimed at those without a physics background, more so than Gribbin's Quantum Cats book.  There were items which I needed further explanation from Youtube such as decoherence and Heisenberg's Uncertainty principal.

I particularly liked the final chapter which deals with practical applications of quantum mechanics in areas of computing, medicine and biology.

Now that I have a firmer background of the subject, I will restart Gribbin's book again.

Back to quantum physics

I have just finished reading my latest astronomy book and I have bought Jim Al-khalili's "Quantum: a guide for the perplexed". He is Scottish born Iraqi physicists who made a wonderful BBC series about electricity, so I have high expectations about his written work.
