诺贝尔奖得主特·胡夫特在《量子力学的细胞自动机诠释》中提出了一种量子力学的决定性观点。由于不满意传统量子力学与经典世界之间令人困惑的差异，特·胡夫特重新激活了旧的隐藏变量的思想，并且是以一种更系统的方式来给出诠释。量子力学被视为一种工具，而不是一种理论。作者使用量子技术来分析那些本质经典的物理模型，并提出即使是标准模型和引力相互作用都可以处理为用量子力学方法来分析内核经典的系统。作者展示了这种方法，尽管基于隐藏变量，也可以与贝尔定理合理地协调一致，以及如何至少在原则上克服对\"超决定论\"的常见反对意见。本书为所有从事量子理论基础研究或对量子物理感兴趣的读者提供了奇妙的阅读体验。

　　本书展现了诺贝尔奖得主特·胡夫特对量子力学中重大问题的新洞见，并为如何统一引力与量子力学这一长期存在的科学问题提供一种解决方案。这个新方法也将消除坍塌问题和测量问题。甚至\"时间之矢\"问题，也能用一种更优雅的方式来解释。但作者并不是要以此来替代量子力学的标准理论，而是提出量子力学不仅仅是一种描述自然的理论，更可以被视为一种奇妙数学机制的一部分，这个数学机制可以将物理现象置于更大的背景之中。

　　本书是世界图书出版公司的\"科学大师经典\"书系的一种重磅图书。这套精装书系会陆续出版对科学发展产生重大影响的诸位大师的名著。

　　When investigating theories at the tiniest conceivable scales in Nature， almost all researchers today revert to the quantum language， accepting the verdict that we shall nickname \"the Copenhagen doctrine\" that the only way to describe what is going on will always involve states in Hilbert space， controlled by operator equations. Returning to classical， that is， non quantum mechanical， descriptions will be forever impossible， unless one accepts some extremely contrived theoretical contraptions that may or may not reproduce the quantum mechanical phenomena observed in experiments.
　　Dissatisfied， this author investigated how one can look at things differently. This book is an overview of older material， but also contains many new observations and calculations. Quantum mechanics is looked upon as a tool， not as a theory. Examples are displayed of models that are classical in essence， but can be analysed by the use of quantum techniques， and we argue that even the Standard Model， together with gravitational interactions， might be viewed as a quantum mechanical approach to analyse a system that could be classical at its core. We explain how such thoughts can conceivably be reconciled with Bell's theorem， and how the usual objections voiced against the notion of 'superdeterminism' can be overcome， at least in principle. Our proposal would eradicate the collapse problem and the measurement problem. Even the existence of an \"arrow of time\" can perhaps be explained in a more elegant way than usual.

　　杰拉德·特·胡夫特（Gerard 't Hooft）是世界闻名的理论物理学家，荷兰乌得勒支大学教授，于1999年因为\"阐明物理学中电弱相互作用的量子结构\"与其博士导师马丁纽斯·韦尔特曼（Martinus J. G. Veltman）一同获得诺贝尔物理学奖。他的研究主要集中在三个方向：基本粒子物理的规范理论，量子引力与黑洞，以及量子力学的基础。特·胡夫特被誉为是二十世纪中后期影响重大的理论物理学家之一。他是荷兰皇家人文和科学院、美国国家科学院、美国人文与科学院、法国科学院等众多科学院的院士。他还获得过沃尔夫奖、洛仑兹奖章和富兰克林奖章等重要科学奖项，并且是荷兰科技zuigao奖--斯宾诺莎奖的首位获得者。1971年发现的小行星9491以特·胡夫特命名（9491 Thooft），他还为该小行星的未来居民颁布了宪法。
