If Einstein had known / Et si Einstein avait su... [French]

Alain Aspect wrote this book to share his fascination with the debate between two giants of physics, Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein, over the interpretation of quantum mechanics.

Almost half a century after his own experiments, Aspect was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for demonstrating that it was necessary to abandon Einstein's vision of the quantum world.

Aspect places this debate within the incredible history of quantum physics. Never hiding his admiration for Einstein, he shows us how the thinker's quasi-philosophical controversy with Bohr led to very real experiments, and to the invention of new quantum technologies.

Recounting his career, Aspect explains with passion and clarity how he demonstrated one of the most extraordinary properties of quantum entanglement, and tries to imagine Einstein's reaction to his experimental results.

"A major book."
