This weirdness is directly displayed in recent experiments juggling with isolated atoms and photons. They are reviewed in this book, combining theoretical insight and experimental description, and providing useful illustrations for learning and teaching of quantum mechanics. - ;The counter-intuitive aspects of quantum physics have been for long illustrated by thought experiments, from Einstein's photon box to Schr--ouml--;dinger's cat. These experiments have now become real, with single particles - electrons, atoms or photo 410 0$aOxford graduate texts. 606 $aQuantum theory 606 $aQuantum logic 615 0$aQuantum theory. 615 0$aQuantum logic. 676 $a530.12 700 $aHaroche$b S$0945752 701 $aRaimond$b J.-M$053365 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792251403321 996 $aExploring the quantum$93783705 997 $aUNINA
