It shows how the second world war and cold war fostered the development of materials, instruments, and systems that made it possible to create, manipulate, and detect single quantum systems, thus creating the material conditions for experiments in foundations of quantum mechanics and for a broad spectrum of experimental inquiries on the structure and properties of matter which underlay the creation of new research fields such as quantum optics, quantum information, and atomic, molecular, and optical physics. Discussing research and development performed in diverse contexts, this book reveals how physicists carried instruments, and the knowledge they embodied, through disciplinary and geographic frontiers to probe entanglement, a most intriguing feature of the quantum world.SpringerBriefs in History of Science and Technology,2211-4572Science—HistoryPhysics—PhilosophyHistory of SciencePhilosophy of PhysicsPhysicsScienceScience—History.Physics—Philosophy.History of Science.Philosophy of Physics.530.12530.12Da Silva Neto Climério Paulo1361193MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910728393703321Materializing the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics3379485UNINA
