The Quantum Cookbook

Mathematical Recipes for the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics

Beschreibung

The book combines popular and textbook presentation. It aims not to teach readers how to do quantum mechanics but rather helps them understand how to think about quantum mechanics. The real source of confusion in quantum mechanics does not originate in the mathematics, but in our understanding of what a scientific theory is supposed to represent.
