Formalisms of quantum mechanics : an introduction / Francois David.

By: Material type: TextTextSeries: Lecture notes in physics ; 893.Publication details: Switzerland : Springer, 2015Description: vii, 157 p. : illustrations (some color) ; 24 cmISBN:
  • 9783319105383
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 530.12 23 D249
Contents:
1. Introduction.- 2. The Standard Formulations of Classical and Quantum Mechanics.- 3. The Algebraic Quantum Formalism.- 4. The Quantum Logic Formalism.- 5. Information, Correlations, and more.- Bibliography.- Index.
Summary: This text focuses on two of such representations: the algebraic formulation of quantum mechanics and the “quantum logic” approach. Last but not least, some emphasis will also be put on understanding the relation between quantum physics and special relativity through their common roots - causality, locality and reversibility, as well as on the relation between quantum theory, information theory, correlations and measurements, and quantum gravity.
