Colston Symposium, The (19 Parts)

Synopsis: In April 1998 a number of scientists gathered for the Colston Symposium at the University of Bristol to explore quantum physics. These 19 lectures, in front of invited audiences, are a valuable contemporary statement of thinking in the field and will eventually provide something of a scholarly archive.
