This book integrates into the presentation of quantum mechanics the conceptual and mathematical developments that have occurred in the last few decades, and gives particular attention to the question of interpretation. The text begins with a review of the mathematics of vector spaces and operators, and of probability theory. The quantum state concept and the relation of the fundamental dynamical variables to space-time symmetries are treated in detail. Further topics include: rigged Hilbert space; state preparation and ...

This book integrates into the presentation of quantum mechanics the conceptual and mathematical developments that have occurred in the last few decades, and gives particular attention to the question of interpretation. The text begins with a review of the mathematics of vector spaces and operators, and of probability theory. The quantum state concept and the relation of the fundamental dynamical variables to space-time symmetries are treated in detail. Further topics include: rigged Hilbert space; state preparation and measurement; recent neutron interference experiments; the Aharonov-Bohm effect; Landau levels; non-exponential decays; photon correlations; and coherence and Bell's theorem.
