TI - Quantum mechanics: a modern development SN - 9810241054 U1 - 530.12 PY - 1998/// CY - Singapore PB - World Scientific KW - Quantum theory N2 - Although there are many textbooks that deal with the formal apparatus of quantum mechanics (Qm) and its application to standard problems, none take into account the developments in the foundations of the subject which have taken place in the last few decades. There are specialized treatises on various aspects of the foundations of Qm, but none that integrate those topics with the standard material.
