Description

The ideal text for a two-semester graduate course on quantum mechanics.

Fresh, comprehensive, and clear, it strikes the optimal balance between covering traditional material and exploring contemporary topics.

Focusing on the probabilistic structure of quantum mechanics and the central role of symmetries to unify principles, this textbook guides readers through the logical development of the theory.

Students will also learn about the more exciting and controversial aspects of quantum theory, with discussions on past interpretations and the current debates on cutting-edge concepts such as quantum information and entanglement, open quantum systems, and quantum measurement theory.

The book has two types of content: Type A material is more elementary and is fully self-contained, functioning like a separate book within the book, while Type B content is at the level of a graduate course.

Requiring minimal physics background, this textbook is appropriate for mathematics and engineering students, in addition to physicists.

Introducing cutting-edge topics in the field, the book features about 150 concept-checking questions, 300 homework problems and a solutions manual.
