About this listen

Quantum Physics, Made Simple and Accessible

Are you curious about the quantum world but overwhelmed by tough words and complex equations? Make this your first book on quantum—your guide to understanding the universe’s most mysterious topics, from waves and light to space, nature, and even consciousness!

This Second Edition breaks down quantum physics into bite-sized, engaging explanations that make learning feel natural. Through real-life analogies, stories of the great physicists who paved the way, and simplified terms, you’ll soon unlock the secrets of light, entanglement, waves, and much more.

Inside the book, you’ll find:

  • The Giants of Science: Meet the icons of modern physics, from Einstein to Bohr, and dive into the fierce debates, groundbreaking discoveries, and unique perspectives that shaped the field.
  • Key Principles: Unlock five basics of quantum physics, from the mind-bending wave-particle duality to the intrigue of the uncertainty principle.
  • Major Theories: Explore the biggest concepts in quantum, including entanglement, Schrödinger’s Cat, superposition, and more.
  • Experiments: Discover the pivotal experiments that shaped quantum theory, such as the famous double-slit experiment and the eye-opening photoelectric effect.
  • Everyday Items: Watch quantum physics in action—from GPS navigation and X-ray machines to lasers and smartphones—explore emerging applications in quantum computing and cryptography.

I cover all this and more, without the intimidating equations or engineering blueprints—just clear, easy-to-understand descriptions. Start listening and leap into the possibilities of quantum mechanics, from nuclear fusion to bending time, teleporting data, and even quantum supremacy.

Finally Understand Quantum Without the Headache

I’ve always been intrigued by the weird side of physics, but I was intimidated by all the equations and jargon. This guide made it feel surprisingly doable, laying out the biggest ideas of quantum in bite-sized sections. I loved learning how everyday tech, like GPS and smartphones, actually relies on these concepts. It was also fascinating to read about the physicists behind each discovery—I found myself enjoying the stories just as much as the science. If you’re curious about quantum but don’t want to wrestle with too many formulas, this is the perfect pick to help you grasp the basics.

Everyone got to listen this

I’ll admit, quantum physics always seemed like a realm for experts and people in lab coats, something too complicated for my everyday life. But after listening to this audiobook, I finally get the basics! The way it breaks down mind-bending concepts like superposition and entanglement into bite-sized chunks is amazing. I love how it connects abstract ideas to things I can actually see and relate to, like how quantum computing is changing technology. It's a great listen for anyone who wants to grasp the big ideas without diving into heavy math!

Supercool Audiobook about Quantum Physics

I’ve always been curious about quantum physics but never understood it, no matter how many videos I watched. This book breaks it down so even I can follow along! Learning about things like light and waves without all the confusing math is actually fun. It’s wild how this stuff connects to everyday tech like GPS and lasers. Can’t wait to dig into the experiments they mention—I feel like I’m finally catching on!

I actually understood this!

Physics was by far my worst subject in school. I just could not understand it and it’s something that has stayed on my mind ever since. I Thought I’d give some books on quantum physics a listen as I do find the subject fascinating.

I have to say, I really enjoyed giving this a listen and a lot of it made way more sense than I thought it would. The major theories like superposition and entanglement opened my eyes to some incredible scientific discoveries. My favourite part of the book was how quantum physics has been an essential part of our lives and how it’s used in many of the devices we use. The audiobook is brilliantly laid out and well narrated.
