Introduction to the Maths and Physics of Quantum Mechanics details the mathematics and physics that are needed to learn the principles of quantum mechanics.
It provides an accessible treatment of how to use quantum mechanics and why it is so successful in explaining natural phenomena. This book clarifies various aspects of quantum physics such as ‘why quantum mechanics equations contain “I”, the imaginary number?’, ‘Is it possible to make a transition from classical mechanics to quantum physics without using postulates?’ and ‘What is the origin of the uncertainty principle?’. A significant proportion of discussion is dedicated to the issue of why the wave function must be complex to properly describe our “real” world.
The book also addresses the different formulations of quantum mechanics. A relatively simple introductory treatment is given for the “standard” Heisenberg matrix formulation and Schrodinger wave-function formulation and Feynman path integrals and second quantization are then discussed.
Quantum mechanics is the foundation of modern physics, and it is one of the most important and influential scientific theories of the twentieth century. It is the theory that explains the behavior of matter and energy on the atomic and subatomic scales. It has revolutionized our understanding of the natural world and has opened up a new realm of possibilities for technological progress.
This book is an introduction to the maths and physics of quantum mechanics. The goal is to provide an accessible yet comprehensive overview of the theory, its basic principles, and its implications for our understanding of the physical world. The book begins with an introduction to the maths and physics of classical mechanics, putting the accent on the mathematical formalism that will be later used in quantum mechanics. It then provides an overview of the experiments that were not explained by classical mechanics.
This book will appeal to first- and second-year university students in physics, mathematics, engineering and other sciences studying quantum mechanics who will find material and clarifications not easily found in other textbooks. It will also appeal to self-taught readers with a genuine interest in modern physics who are willing to examine the mathematics and physics in a simple but rigorous way.
