Although there are many textbooks that deal with the formal
apparatus of quantum mechanics (QM) and its application to standard
problems, none take into account the developments in the
foundations of the subject which have taken place in the last few
decades. There are specialized treatises on various aspects of the
foundations of QM, but none that integrate those topics with the
standard material. This book aims to remove that unfortunate
dichotomy, which has divorced the practical aspects of the subject
from the interpretation and broader implications of the theory.In
this edition a new chapter on quantum information is added. As the
topic is still in a state of rapid development, a comprehensive
treatment is not feasible. The emphasis is on the fundamental
principles and some key applications, including quantum
cryptography, teleportation of states, and quantum computing. The
impact of quantum information theory on the foundations of quantum
mechanics is discussed. In addition, there are minor revisions to
several chapters.The book is intended primarily as a graduate level
textbook, but it will also be of interest to physicists and
philosophers who study the foundations of QM. Parts of it can be
used by senior undergraduates too.
