Bruce Rosenblum is currently Professor of Physics, emeritus, at the University of California at Santa Cruz. He has also consulted extensively for government and industry on technical and policy issues. His research has moved from molecular physics to condensed matter physics, and, after a foray into biophysics, has focused on fundamental issues in quantum mechanics.

Fred Kuttner is a Lecturer in the Department of Physics at the University of California at Santa Cruz. He devotes most of his time to teaching physics after a career in industry, including two technology startups, and a second career in academic administration. His research interests have included the low temperature properties of solids and the thermal properties of magnets. For the last several years he has worked on the foundations of quantum mechanics and the implications of the quantum theory.

Bruce Rosenblum and Fred Kuttner explain the theory of quantum mechanics and the mystery surrounding it in non-technical terms, using fanciful stories and anecdotes about the theory’s developers. With a light and, at times, humorous presentation, they expertly explore the controversial connections between physics and consciousness, highlighting the points at which these intersect with the fundamentals of quantum mechanics. The second edition builds upon the fine scholarship contained in the first edition. All chapters are updated to reflect recent advancements in quantum mechanics, while explanations within chapters are improved to increase clarity, in response to feedback from readers and instructors who have adopted the book.
