'Ghose's book will be accessible … to non-specialists and can be strongly recommended for graduate students as an introduction to the fascinating study of the quantum world.' S. M. Barnett, Contemporary Physics

'Partha Ghose's timely and valuable book … shows, although not yet testable, the coherent set of concepts embodied in the pilot-wave interpretation implies unambiguous predictions about transit times … Ghose reviews the current experimental basis of this emergent field, a blend of tests of classic quantum phenomena and specific interpretations. As far as I know it is the first book to attempt this comprehensively, with full technical details … highly recommended as a resource for graduate students and researchers … recommended as a very good introduction to stochastic methods in contemporary physics.' The Times Higher Education Supplement

'This is highly motivating and well-written book. Historical references are spread all over the text taking the reader along the endless debate on the foundations of quantum theory. The author has accomplished an admirable pedagogical effort. Each chapter starts with a small table of contents followed by a brief summary. The style is direct, avoiding superfluous technicalities. It is a good introduction for physicists to methods and concepts of classical stochastic analysis. To summarise, the book provides physicists with an appealing introduction to methods and concepts of stochastic analysis. Moreover, it illustrates a way of implementing specific numerical procedures for open quantum systems. That feature will certainly interest both physicists and mathematicians who will enjoy as well the philosophical discussion on the foundations of quantum mechanics.'
