Three books of mine will be published this June 2026.

On June 7th, a new book about "nothingness" in modern physics will be available in bookstores from SB Shinsho (SoftBank Creative). The title is What is Nothingness?. There are no mathematical formulas at all, and through repeated editing sessions with my editor based on my note articles, the text has become very easy to understand. It is content that can be read by a wide range of people, not just high school and university students aiming to become physics researchers. It is in a tour format, where we visit the various faces of "reality" and "nothingness" in modern physics one by one, based on diverse themes such as general relativity, quantum mechanics, and AI. Furthermore, from the perspective that "all things are quantum information," which is one of the major ways of thinking in modern physics, the uniqueness and importance of the existence of <I> as an observer are emphasized. I hope that this book will also be read by those interested in Western and Eastern philosophy. It is also recommended for fans of spiritual books such as "The Law of Attraction." It explains authentic, modernly updated quantum mechanics.

Conclusion: A Flower of No Color

On June 25th, a co-authored book with Katsuhiko Hiroe, famous for EMAN Physics, titled "New Common Sense of Quantum Mechanics: Physics Redefined by Consciousness, Reality, and Information" will be available in bookstores from Kodansha Scientific.

You can learn the modern basic knowledge of quantum mechanics as information theory. The content of my note articles is written in Mr. Hiroe's well-regarded, easy-to-understand style, resolving various misunderstandings about quantum mechanics that existed in the previous century. I would definitely like those who have already learned quantum mechanics from textbooks of the previous century to read this book.

This book is positioned as a supplementary reader for "Introduction to Modern Quantum Mechanics: Focusing on Quantum Information and Quantum Measurement," a modern textbook for physics students that has been patronized under the name "Hotta Quantum." "Hotta Quantum" is a textbook introduced in the famous book "100 Years of Quantum Mechanics" (Seidosha) by Dr. Fumiaki Shibata, which won the Mainichi Publishing Culture Award, and it was also introduced as a textbook of the innovation era in the article "Transition and Future of 'Quantum Education'" in the Quantum Mechanics 100th Anniversary Project of the Physical Society of Japan.
