There she'll meet an Emperor who thinks his new clothes into existence, dance with the Three Quark Brothers at the Particle MASSquerade, travel back in time (running into herself), and experience all kinds of quantum effects. Readers will learn about the Uncertainty Principle, wave functions, the Pauli Principle, and other elusive concepts.

Alice is about to enter a whole new Wonderland. It's Quantumland--a
kind of intellectual amusement park, smaller than an atom, where each
attraction demonstrates a different aspect of quantum theory. There
she'll meet an Emperor who thinks his new clothes into existence,
dance with the Three Quark Brothers at the Particle MASSquerade,
travel back in time (running into herself), and experience all kinds
of quantum effects. Readers will learn about the Uncertainty
Principle, wave functions, the Pauli Principle, and other elusive
concepts.
