Quantum Mechantics: Memoirs of a Quark - Paperback

by Brad Baumgartner (Author)

The quantum world, like the mystical, is anonymous, aporetic, hidden. In order to view this
strange realm--one filled with particles darting in and out of nowhere; of what Einstein once
famously called "spooky action at a distance"--this collection takes as its subject matter a
myriad of interfacings--quantum physics, mysticism, cryptography, impersonality, and
meontology, to name a few. Playfully rigorous and rigorously playful, Quantum Mechantics
experimentally indexes a poetic form of ludic hopping (hop, from Old English hoppian "to
spring, leap; to dance; to limp"). These text objects perform as the quantum world does: boggling
and indeterminate, we discover a subatomic, quantum poetry-without-us--one that paradoxically
exists only when observed.
