A Century of Quantum Mechanics

CERN Courier has a special issue this month celebrating what they consider as the 100th anniversary of Quantum Mechanics.
Of course, the focus here is predominantly on elementary/particle physics. And yet, many of the most obvious demonstration and manifestation of quantum mechanics can be found not in particle physics, but in condensed matter physics. The Schrodinger-Cat type demonstration using SQUIDs, and the clearest manifestation of the effect of coherence can be seen in condensed matter...
