Crucial to most research in physics, as well as leading to the development of inventions such as the transistor and the laser, quantum mechanics approaches its centenary with an impressive record. However, the field has also long been the subject of ongoing debates about the foundations and interpretation of the theory, referred to as the quantum controversy.This Oxford Handbook offers a historical overview of the contrasts which have been at the heart of quantum physics for the last 100 years. Drawing on the wide-ranging expertise of several contributors working across physics, history, and philosophy, the handbook outlines the main theories and interpretations of quantum physics. It goes on to tackle the key controversies surrounding the field, touching on issues such as determinism, realism, locality, classicality, information, measurements, mathematical foundations, and the links between quantum theory and gravity.This engaging introduction is an essential guide for all those interested in the history of scientific controversies and history of quantum physics. It also provides a fascinating examination of the potential of quantum physics to influence new discoveries and advances in fields such quantum information and computing.

Why would any nation choose to share its most vital knowledge openly with others — even with potential adversaries? In the wake of World War II, Danish physicist Niels Bohr urged exactly this in a historic letter to the United Nations. The atomic bomb, with its unprecedented destructive power, had transformed the outlook on international conflict. Bohr argued that only radical openness could contain such a threat and build the trust needed to secure a peaceful future.This volume brings together contributions from leading scholars across disciplines, presented at a Copenhagen conference marking the 75th anniversary of Bohr’s Open Letter. Together, they explore the enduring relevance of Bohr’s call for openness in a world still grappling with global risk, technological upheaval, and the fragile foundations of international cooperation.
