This book, the first in a two-volume set, provides an introduction
to the fundamentals of (mainly) non-relativistic quantum mechanics.
This first volume chiefly focuses on the essential principles,
while applications and extensions of the formalism can be found in
volume 2. Including but also moving beyond material that is covered
in traditional textbooks on quantum mechanics, the book discusses
in detail current issues such as interaction-free quantum
measurements or neutrino oscillations, as well as fundamental
problems and epistemological questions, such as the measurement
problem. A chapter on the postulates of quantum mechanics rounds
off this first volume. In order to quickly and clearly present the
main principles of quantum mechanics and its mathematical
formulation, there is a systematic transition between wave
mechanics and algebraic representation in the first few chapters,
in which the required mathematical tools are introduced step by
step. Moreover, the appendix concisely reviews the most important
mathematical tools, allowing readers to largely dispense with
supplementary literature. The appendix also explores advanced
topics, such as the Quantum-Zeno effect and time-delay experiments.
Over 250 exercises, most of them with solutions, help to deepen the
reader's understanding of the topics discussed. This revised second
edition is expanded by an introduction to some ideas and problems
of relativistic quantum mechanics. In this first volume, the
Klein-Gordon and the Dirac equations are treated. Fundamentals of
other areas are compiled in compact form, i.e., outlines of special
relativity, classical field theory and electrodynamics. The book is
chiefly intended for student science teachers and all students of
physics, majors and minors alike, who are looking for a reasonably
easy and modern introduction to quantum mechanics.
