Conceptual basis of quantum mechanics / Jan-Markus Schwindt.

By: Material type: TextTextSeries: Undergraduate lecture notes in physicsPublication details: Cham : Springer, 2016.Description: xiii, 348 pages ; illustrations ; 24 cmISBN:
  • 9783319245249
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 530.12 23 Sch415
Contents:
Part I Formalism and Interpretation.- 1. Introduction: Nonlocal or Unreal?.- 2. Formalism II: Finite-dimensional Hilbert Spaces.- 3. Formalism II: Infinite-Dimensional Hilbert Spaces.- 4. Interpretation.- Part II A Single Scalar Particle in an External Potential.- 5. One-dimensional problems.- 6. Two-Dimensional Problems.- 7. Three-Dimensional Problems.- 8. Scattering Theory.- Part III Advanced Topics.- 9. Spin.- 10. Electromagnetic Interaction.- 11. Perturbation Theory.- 12. N-Particle Systems.- 13. Path Integral.- 14. Dirac Equation.
Summary: The book covers the content of a typical higher undergraduate course of the theory of Quantum Mechanics. The focus is on the general principles of quantum mechanics and the clarification of its terminology: What exactly is a Hilbert space? What is a hermitean operator? A tensor product? An entangled state? In what sense does a wave function constitute a vector? A separate chapter discusses the many open questions regarding the interpretation of the postulates.
