Quantum Revolution

In 1911 the rich and progressive industrialist Ernest Solvay called the first solvay council together in Hotel Métropole, Brussels, Belgium. From all over the world, a select group of top scientists came to Brussels to debate about problems within their field. The Solvay Councils have played a crucial role in the development of modern physics in general and quantum physics in particular. More than 100 years later the Solvay councils are still being organized. ”Quantum Revolution” is not only an understandable introduction to the fascinating world of quantum physics , but also gives a unique perspective on the history of this most intriguing scientific field and its impact on the world today.
