TY - BOOK AU - Bes, Daniel R. TI - Quantum mechanics [2nd rev. ed.]: a modern and concise introductory course SN - 9783540462156 U1 - 530.12 PY - 2007/// CY - Berlin PB - Springer-Verlag KW - Quantum theory N2 - Starting from basic principles, the book systematically covers both Heisenberg and Schrödinger's realizations of quantum mechanics (in this order). It provides an excellent didactic introduction to the essential principles and treats recent concepts such as entanglement and decoherence. The book gives the background needed to understand quantum cryptography, teleportation, and computation, and it is especially suitable for introducing spin. This second edition includes a more friendly presentation of Hilbert spaces, and more practical applications e.g. scanning tunneling microscope (potential barrier) ER -
