SPRINGERBRIEFS IN HISTORY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNO...

This book offers a history of the instrumentation used to materialize the early thought
experiments devised in the Einstein-Bohr disputes over the foundations of quantum mechanics. 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.
