> L’ÉTRANGE HISTOIRE DES QUANTA, de Banesh Hoffmann. — L’importance de la théorie quantique dans la science contemporaine n’est plus à souligner. Matérialisée dans la technologie moderne (transistors, lasers), elle continue à susciter d’âpres débats philosophiques, autour de l’indéterminisme et de la non-séparabilité. Le développement de la théorie quantique et l’élaboration de ses concepts surprenants sont contés avec une simplicité et une clarté irremplaçables par B. Hoffmann dans sa présentation devenur classique de l'Étrange Histoire des quanta, maintenant mise à jour par les Nouveaux Voyages au pays des quanta de M. Paty. Ed. Le Seuil, 1981.
