Quantum mechanics : a modern development
By: Ballentine, Leslie E.
Material type:
BookPublisher: Singapore World Scientific 1998Description: xiv, 658p.ISBN: 9810241054; 9789810241056.Subject(s): Quantum theoryDDC classification: 530.12 | B212q Summary: Although there are many textbooks that deal with the formal apparatus of quantum mechanics (Qm) and its application to standard problems, none take into account the developments in the foundations of the subject which have taken place in the last few decades. There are specialized treatises on various aspects of the foundations of Qm, but none that integrate those topics with the standard material. This book aims to remove that unfortunate dichotomy, which has divorced the practical aspects of the subject from the interpretation and broader implications of the theory. The book is intended primarily as a graduate-level textbook, but it will also be of interest to physicists and philosophers who study the foundations of Qm.
