'The authors should be recognised for their efforts to present a
mathematically rigorous introduction to Quantum Mechanics (QM) in a
form that has broad appeal; there are not many introductory QM
texts that would cover, for example, decoherence. I think many
educators would appreciate this book, especially those interested
in courses that combine science and philosophy.'Contemporary
PhysicsApart from providing a lucid introduction to the
mathematical formalism and conceptual foundations of quantum
mechanics, we explain why the laws of physics have the form that
they do. In addition, we present a new and unique look at the
quantum world, steering clear of two common errors: the error of
the -ontologists, who reify a calculational tool; and the error of
the anti-realists, for whom physical theories are simply devices
for expressing regularities among observations.The new edition of
this acclaimed text adds around 200 pages on a variety of topics,
such as how the founders sought to make sense of quantum mechanics,
Kant's theory of science, QBism, Everettian quantum mechanics, de
Broglie-Bohm theory, environmental decoherence, contextuality,
nonlocality, and the paradox of subjectivity - the curious fact
that the world seems to exist twice, once for us, in our minds, and
once by itself, independently of us.
