== Further reading == {{Refbegin|30em}} The following titles, all by working physicists, attempt to communicate quantum theory to lay people, using a minimum of technical apparatus: * [[Marvin Chester|Chester, Marvin]] (1987). ''Primer of Quantum Mechanics''. John Wiley. {{isbn|0-486-42878-8}} * {{cite book |first1=Brian |last1=Cox |author-link1=Brian Cox (physicist) |first2=Jeff |last2=Forshaw |author-link2=Jeff Forshaw |title=The Quantum Universe: Everything That Can Happen Does Happen |publisher=Allen Lane |year=2011 |isbn=978-1-84614-432-5 |title-link=The Quantum Universe}} * [[Richard Feynman]], 1985. ''[[QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter]]'', Princeton University Press. {{isbn|0-691-08388-6}}. Four elementary lectures on quantum electrodynamics and [[quantum field theory]], yet containing many insights for the expert. * [[Giancarlo Ghirardi|Ghirardi, GianCarlo]], 2004. ''Sneaking a Look at God's Cards'', Gerald Malsbary, trans. Princeton Univ. Press. The most technical of the works cited here. Passages using [[algebra]], [[trigonometry]], and [[bra–ket notation]] can be passed over on a first reading. * [[N. David Mermin]], 1990, "Spooky actions at a distance: mysteries of the QT" in his ''Boojums All the Way Through''. Cambridge University Press: 110–76. * [[Victor Stenger]], 2000.
