The Quantum Menagerie : A Tutorial Introduction to the Mathematics of Quantum Mechanics / by Stone, James V.,author.;
Includes further reading, Appendix A-H, References, and Index (pages 115-146).Preface -- What Is Quantum Mechanics? -- Planck's Act of Desperation -- Einstein's Unreasonable Reality -- Waves of Light and Matter -- The Double-Slit Experiment -- Schrodinger's Wave Equation -- Quantum Interpretations -- A History of Quantum Mechanics -- Further Reading -- Glossary -- Mathematical Symbols -- The Boltzmann Distribution -- Complex Numbers -- Pioneers of Quantum Mechanics -- Fourier Optics and Heisenberg -- Wavefunctions and PDEs -- Key Equations -- References -- Index.Understanding quantum mechanics matters because it is the engine that powers the universe. This engine is fuelled by a few simple principles, but the consequences of those principles are both profound and strange. In this richly illustrated book, quantum mechanics is explained using a finely balanced combination of words, diagrams and mathematics. The result is a tour of the most intriguing aspects of quantum mechanics, including Einstein's 'spooky action at a distance', Bell's inequality, Schrodinger's cat, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, and de Broglie's matter waves. Supported by a comprehensive Glossary, Further Readings, and tutorial appendices, this is an ideal introduction to the mathematics of quantum mechanics.
