Mecanique quantique du couple.
English summary: We recently learned that a significant part of what makes quantum physics unique resides in the way in which it describes not one, but two, three or multiple isolated objects, as well as the rule of their composition. In other words, what is the significance of taking two entities and treating them as if they were just one? Drawing upon ancient tales and contemporary metaphors, this book relates three key moments in the thought surrounding this issue. For ever since Antiquity, people have been intrigued with the idea of turning two systems into a single one: the author demands an explanation, calls for a revision of dogma and thus creates a theoretical upheaval. Greek philosophy was interested in it; Christian theology has raised this concept to the status of doctrinal dilemma; and quantum mechanics is examining the composition within a different, rigorous and mathematical framework. For the first time, the latter makes it possible to subject the answer to an empirical test. Nonetheless, archaic quarrels which had been thought to be obsolete are turning out to be surprisingly similar to modern-day concerns. In this book, they are exposed through encounters with a few mythical figures: gods, physicians of yore, and the heroes of contemporary culture. French description: Nous avons appris recemment qu’une large partie de la specificite de la physique quantique reside dans la maniere dont elle decrit, non un objet isole, mais deux, trois ou plusieurs objets, ainsi que la regle de leur composition. Autrement dit, que signifie prendre deux entites et les traiter comme une seule? Au travers de recits anciens et de metaphores contemporaines, ce livre relate trois moments clefs de la reflexion sur cette question. Car, depuis l’Antiquite, le geste de composer deux systemes en un systeme unique intrigue: il exige une explication, incite a reviser des dogmes et produit un bouleversement theorique. La philosophie grecque s’y interesse; la theologie chretienne eleve cette question au rang de probleme doctrinal; enfin, la mecanique quantique etudie la composition dans un cadre different, rigoureux et mathematique. Pour la premiere fois, ce cadre permet de soumettre la reponse a un test empirique. Toutefois, les vieilles disputes qu’on croyait depassees s’averent etonnamment proches des preoccupations modernes. Dans ce livre, elles sont mises en scene a travers des rencontres avec quelques personnages mythiques: dieux, physiciens d’autrefois, heros de la culture contemporaine.Alexei Grinbaum est physicien et philosophe. Apres des etudes a l’Universite de Saint-Petersbourg et a l’Ecole Polytechnique, il soutient une these sur le role de l’information en theorie quantique. Depuis, il combine un travail sur les fondements de la physique avec un interet pour les questions ethiques des nouvelles technologies. Aujourd’hui chercheur au CEA a Saclay, il donne souvent des conferences sur les nanotechnologies, la biologie de synthese, les robots ou encore les faibles doses. Il developpe sur ces questions une methode originale de reflexion fondee sur l’utilisation des recits anciens.
