Book Reviewed: Quantum in Pictures: A New Way to Understand the Quantum World by Bob Coecke and Stefano Gogioso

Quantum in confusing pictures This is an ambitious attempt to introduce quantum mechanics through pictorial explanations without mathematical formalism. The author uses the ZX-calculus, a diagrammatic language for quantum processes. I did not find this book motivating or enriching. It's introductory in spirit but aims high to comprehend the basics of quantum realities. The quantum phenomena like superposition, entanglement, teleportation, measurement, and quantum computing are described numerous popular books without math. There are numerous videos on YouTube that explain the math in a stress-free manner that most readers would appreciate. The diagrams in this nook are abstract, confusing and do not add much to learning.
