Quantum Magazine

Last updated

Quantum: The Magazine of Math and Science was a United States-based bimonthly magazine of mathematics and science, primarily physics, designed for young readers. It was published by the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) and Springer-Verlag [1] and was headquartered in Washington DC. [2]

Quantum was a sister publication of the Russian magazine Kvant . Quantum contained translations from Kvant and original material. [1]

The magazine was founded in 1990. It ceased publication with its July/August 2001 issue. [3]

Two books derived from Quantum materials have been published: Quantoons [4] and Quantum Quandaries. [5]

All articles from the magazine are indexed online by the NSTA. [6]

Grete Hermann was a German mathematician and philosopher noted for her work in mathematics, physics, philosophy and education. She is noted for her early philosophical work on the foundations of quantum mechanics, and is now known most of all for an early, but long-ignored critique of a "no hidden-variables theorem" by John von Neumann. It has been suggested that, had her critique not remained nearly unknown for decades, the historical development of quantum mechanics might have been very different.
