She, Céline Broeckaert, a writer, puts these scientific revelations into everyday language with wit and charm. Together, they unravel the reasons the universe behaves in the weird ways it does – and just why it’s so important to understand them.

You will discover: How symmetry governs the universe.
The untold stories of pioneering women in quantum science.
How quantum principles power our gadgets and lives.
The real essence behind quantum puzzles and discoveries.
With this groundbreaking journey into quantum physics, transform your understanding of the universe and its boundless possibilities with clarity, wonder and humour.

Why Nobody Understands Quantum Physics is a bridge between the complex world of quantum physics and the curious mind – simplifying without diluting and enlightening without overwhelming.'Entertaining, unorthodox and highly readable' – Professor Ian Stewart, bestselling co-author of The Science of Discworld' A delightful book for all those who do not speak the language of mathematics but are curious about the most beautiful of theories and their impact on our lives' – Barbara Terhal, theoretical physicist

Anyons are quasiparticles that differ from the familiar fermions and boson.

Scientists led by Hanns-Christoph Nägerl have observed anyons in a one-dimensional quantum system for the first time.

The results, published in Nature, may contribute to a better understanding of quantum matter and its potential applications.

Researchers inject an impurity into a one-dimensional ultracold gas, thereby generating a quasiparticle with exotic properties.

Two very different, but both IMO interesting, essays in Aeon.

AeonNo, Schrödinger’s cat is not alive and dead at the same time | Aeon EssaysThe weird paradox of Schrödinger’s cat has found a lasting popularity. What does it mean for the future of quantum physics?

Schrödinger's Rabbits: The Many Worlds of Quantum by Colin Bruce, 2004

"Bruce's witty, fast-paced account of current controversies in quantum physics will keep you on the edge of your seat. An eloquent introduction to one of the deepest mysteries in modern science." -- Paul Halpern, author of The Great Beyond: Higher Dimensions, Parallel Universes and the Extraordinary Search for a Theory of Everything

If I want and I don't want, I am and I am not, or if this post is published and not published.
Hamlet would say, "To be or not to be, that is the question," and Schrödinger would disagree and say, "To be and not to be, that is the state of a cat" (or its wave function).
