The concepts introduced by then were truly revolutionary, even more than Einstein’s relativity, one would dare say. One may have a feeling that nowadays we only exploit the consequences of quantum mechanics to build devices such as transistors or light-emitting diodes, which on the other hand have changed the world we live in beyond imagination. With regard to the theoretical front, it may seem that one only has to turn the mathematical handle to work out consequences of quantum mechanics, although no new concepts are in sight. However, nothing could be farther from the truth. We are priviledged to live in what has been dubbed as a second quantum revolution...
