Most textbooks explain quantum mechanics as a story where each step follows naturally from the one preceding it. However, the development of quantum mechanics was exactly the opposite. It was a zigzag route, full of personal disputes where scientists were forced to abandon well-established classical concepts and to explore new and imaginative pathways. Some of the explored routes were successful... Read more

Biography

Xavier Oriols is an associate professor at the UAB. His research interests range from quantum foundations to practical engineering of electron devices. He is the author or coauthor of more than 140 papers and has developed the quantum electron transport simulator, named BITLLES, based on Bohmian mechanics.

Jordi Mompart, after a postdoctoral stay at the Leibniz Universität Hannover, he became an associate professor at the UAB.
