Foundations of Quantum Mechanics: Italian Physical Society

R.L. Heimann

Published Jun 1, 1973• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

B D'Espagnat New York: Academic Press 1972 pp xiv + 480 price $29·50 The philosophical meaning of quantum mechanics has never been convincingly established. This volume, the proceedings of the Enrico Fermi summer school at Varenna in 1970, consists of articles presenting many different aspects and approaches to the problems, as well as many 'answers' written by distinguished scientists and logicians interested in these questions.

Foundations of Quantum Theory

R. F. Streater

S Wieder New York: Academic Press 1973 pp xv + 399 price $13.95 This book is not really concerned with the foundations of quantum theory, in any mathematical or philosophical sense; rather, it is a textbook at the intermediate level aimed at physics students in their final undergraduate year. One might ask why it was written.

Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Theory

T. W. B. Kibble

A R Marlow (ed) 1978 New York: Academic x + 372 pp price £14.30 This book contains papers presented at a conference held in New Orleans in June 1977, at which physicists and mathematicians came together to discuss the foundations of quantum mechanics. Some of the very mathematical articles will be of interest only to specialists, but others clearly show a real effort to communicate across the disciplinary barrier.

Quantum Mechanics of Many Body Systems

Sam F Edwards

D J Thouless New York: Academic 1972 pp xi + 242 price $13.50 This is the second edition of a text which has gained wide acceptance by workers in its field. It is an introduction to the subject rather than a comprehensive treatise and indeed the latter would be a near impossibility since many body theory now encompasses the greater part of theoretical physics outside the high energy region.

Philosophic Foundations of Quantum Mechanics

S. Körner

Hans Reichenbach University of California Press (agents; London: Cambridge University Press) . 1965. Pp. x + 182. Price 12s. 6d. This is a welcome paperback edition of a book which originally appeared in 1944. Its aim is to analyse the new concepts and methods of physical reasoning which have been introduced into atomic physics as the result mainly of Schrodinger's proof of the physical equivalence of wave and quantum mechanics, of Born's probability interpretation of the wave equation, of Heisenberg's interpretationof the principle of indeterminacy and of Bohr's principle of complementarity.

Conceptual Foundations of Quantum Mechanics

David L Hurd

Bernard d'Espagnal California: Addison-Wesley 1971 pp xvii + 493 price $12·50 (cloth) $6·95 (paper) Ever since the advent of quantum mechanics, the attempt to provide a clear and comprehensive account of the fundamental physical implications of the quantum formalism has been fraught with conceptual problems. Over the years an extensive body of literature has accumulated, to which some of the most distinguished quantum theorists have contributed.

Quantum Mechanics for Mathematicians and Physicists

Nicholas Kemmer

By Ernest Ikenberry London: Oxford University Press. Pp. xii + 269. Price 64s. The number of quantum mechanics texts available nowadays is so large that when another one appears it is a priori unlikely to show any great novelty of treatment or to promise to score heavily over its rivals. Choice of one particular treatment for teaching or learning purposes must become a matter of personal preferences not easily justified in detail.
