Description
Taking a conceptual approach to the subject, Concepts in Quantum Mechanics provides complete coverage of both basic and advanced topics. Following in the footsteps of Dirac's classic work Principles of Quantum Mechanics, it explains all themes from first principles.The authors present alternative ways of representing the state of a physical system,
Reviews / Votes
... this book has much to recommend it. The impression is that it is written for students who may not have a deep grounding in the required mathematics. Each required mathematical point is explained clearly but concisely ... The breadth of coverage is such that the book would be suitable as a general text for students embarking on advanced work in most fields of physics ...-Contemporary Physics, Vol. 51, No. 2, March 2010
... This text is intended for graduate students studying quantum mechanics or for someone very interested in learning about the details of quantum mechanics. It is has a high level of technical depth with complex mathematical expressions used to describe the topics being discussed.
