Foreword
The Quantum Network The quantum revolution emerged from a series of crises of the classical mechanical worldview from the late nineteenth century to the early 1930s. This major transformation of physical knowledge was the subject of a research project funded by the Max Planck Society and pursued jointly by the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science and the Fritz Haber Institute (2006–2012). The project focu
