      title = {Quantum language and the migration of scientific concepts  /},
      abstract = {"This book looks at the use of language in science and in  the circulation of scienctific concepts in society at  large. More precisely, the book looks at the difficulties  physicists faced regarding the use of language while  creating quantum mechanics, with the use of quantum  concepts in literary criticism and in literature, and with  the use of these concepts by the New Age and Post New Age  inclined. The principles of quantum physics--and the  strange phenomena they describe--originate in and are  expressed most precisely with highly abstract algebraic  equations. The main challenge posed by quantum phenomena  does not lie, however, in its mathematics; it lies instead  in how these phenomena strain the limits of comprehension.  This book explores the elusive nature of the quantum  domain, its problematic relationship to representation in  language, and its cultural migration over time"--},
