Résumé
This textbook is intended to accompany a two-semester course on quantum mechanics for physics students. Along with the traditional material covered in such a course (states, operators, Schrödinger equation, hydrogen atom), it offers in-depth discussion of the Hilbert space, the nature of measurement, entanglement, and decoherence - concepts that are crucial for the understanding of quantum physics and its relation to the macroscopic world, but rarely covered in entry-level textbooks.
Special attention is given to interpreting the notorious quantum observer effect. The book uses a mathematically simple physical system - photon polarization - as the. visualization tool, permitting the student to see the entangled beauty of the quantum world from the very first pages. The formal concepts of quantum physics are illustrated by examples from the forefront of modern quantum research, such as quantum communication, teleportation and nonlocality.
The author adopts a Socratic pedagogy : The student is guided to develop the machinery of quantum physics independently by solving sets of carefully chosen problems. Detailed solutions are available for download via the Springer.com website.
