About the Book

This self-contained essay collection is published to commemorate half a century of Bell’s theorem. Like its much acclaimed predecessor Quantum [Un]Speakables: From Bell to Quantum Information (published 2002), it comprises essays by many of the world's leading quantum physicists and philosophers.

These revisit the foundations of quantum theory as well as elucidating the remarkable progress in quantum technologies achieved in the last couple of decades. Fundamental concepts such as entanglement, nonlocality, and contextuality are described in an accessible manner and, alongside lively descriptions of the various theoretical and experimental approaches, the book also delivers interesting philosophical insights.

The collection as a whole will serve as a broad introduction for students and newcomers as well as delighting the scientifically literate general reader.
