Quantum Theory for Beginners

We present a simplified analysis suitable for a beginners' course in quantum mechanics of a recently presented model of positional decoherence in a gas of scatterers. As such, no reference is made to the density matrix formalism, many body theory, or even operator algebra. We only make use of the properties of quantum states and the position and momentum wavefunctions, which students typically encounter in a first quantum mechanics course.

As we humans have expanded our horizons to see things vastly smaller, faster, larger, and farther than ever before, we have been forced to confront preconceptions born of the human experience and create wholly new ways of looking at the world around us. The theories of relativity and quantum physics were developed out of this need and have provided us with phenomenal, mind-twisting insights into the strange and exciting reality show of our universe.Relativity and Quantum Physics For Beginners is an entertaining and accessible introduction to the bizarre concepts that fueled the scientific revolution of the 20th century and led to amazing advances in our understanding of the universe.

This work provides an introduction to quantam theory. It covers the key figures, including Planek, Einstein, Heisenberg and Schrodinger and explains the concepts of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, wave-particle duality, non-locality and Schrodinger's Cat.
