Authored by an acclaimed teacher of quantum physics and philosophy,
this textbook pays special attention to the aspects that many
courses sweep under the carpet. Traditional courses in quantum
mechanics teach students how to use the quantum formalism to make
calculations. But even the best students - indeed, especially the
best students - emerge rather confused about what, exactly, the
theory says is going on, physically, in microscopic systems. This
supplementary textbook is designed to help such students understand
that they are not alone in their confusions (luminaries such as
Albert Einstein, Erwin Schroedinger, and John Stewart Bell having
shared them), to sharpen their understanding of the most important
difficulties associated with interpreting quantum theory in a
realistic manner, and to introduce them to the most promising
attempts to formulate the theory in a way that is physically clear
and coherent. The text is accessible to students with at least one
semester of prior exposure to quantum (or "modern") physics and
includes over a hundred engaging end-of-chapter "Projects" that
make the book suitable for either a traditional classroom or for
self-study.
