Quantum Physics: A Text for Graduate Students

Michael A. Morrison

Reinhold A. Bertlmann, Nicolai Friis

Abstract Based on a series of courses taught by the authors, this theoretical-physics textbook takes the reader on a journey from the beginnings of quantum theory in the early twentieth century to the realm of quantum-information processing in the twenty-first. It provides an introductory text on quantum mechanics and quantum information theory for undergraduate students in physics and related subjects, but also serves as a resource for graduate students who want to engage with more advanced topics, while offering a collection of derivations, proofs, technical methods, and references for graduate students and more experienced readers engaged with teaching and active research.

This excellent text, long considered one of the best- written, most skillful expositions of group theory and its physical applications, is directed primarily to advanced undergraduate and graduate students in physics, especially quantum physics. No knowledge of group theory is assumed, but the reader is expected to be familiar with quantum mechanics.

This compact treatment highlights the logic and simplicity of the mathematical structure of quantum mechanics. Suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students, it treats the language of quantum mechanics as expressed in the mathematics of linear operators.Originally oriented toward atomic physics, quantum mechanics became a basic language for solid-state, nuclear, and particle physics. Its grammar consists of the mathematics of linear operators, and with this text, students will find it easier to understand and use the language of physics. Topics include linear spaces and linear fun
