The book “Journey into Modern Physics – From Einstein to New Quantum Technologies” by Carmine Granata has been published by the international publishing house Springer-Nature. The book offers a short journey into the surprising and spectacular world of modern physics characterized by disruptive ideas and theories from both a conceptual and applicative point of view. Starting from Einstein’s theory of relativity in which the concepts of space, time and gravity are completely revised, we arrive at the bizarre and fascinating universe of quantum physics that with its applications has completely changed our way of life. Particular attention is also paid to the conceptual foundations and paradoxes of quantum mechanics thanks to which the so-called second quantum revolution has developed in more recent times, destined to introduce into our lives a new generation of quantum technologies such as computers, cryptography and teleportation. In addition to the new quantum technologies, the operating principles of the most important applications of quantum mechanics that have spread in everyday life are illustrated in a simple and concise way. The book has an essentially informative character, without resorting to complicated formulas or technicalities, therefore it does not require in-depth knowledge of physics or mathematics; the knowledge acquired in high school is sufficient to understand the topics covered.
