Conceptual Foundations of Quantum Mechanics (Advanced Book Classics)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This book provides a detailed view of the conceptual foundations of quantum physics and a clear and comprehensive account of the fundamental physical implications of the quantum formalism. It deals with nonseparability, hidden variable theories, measurement theories, and several related problems. Mathematical arguments are presented with an emphasis on simple but representative cases. The conclusion incorporates a description of a set of relationships and concepts that could compose a legitimate view of the world.
Card catalog description
A classic from 1976, Conceptual Foundations of Quantum Mechanics provides a detailed view of the conceptual foundations and problems of quantum physics, and a clear and comprehensive account of the fundamental physical implications of the quantum formalism. The prerequisites are an elementary knowledge of the fundamentals of quantum mechanics and of the Dirac notation (bras and kets). Accessible to readers with only a very elementary background in modern physics, this book offers nonspecialists reasonably easy access to some of the most complex problems in the foundations of physics.
