Editorial Review Product Description The authors present a systematic mathematical approach to these models and illustrate its connections with previous heuristic derivations and computations. Results obtained by different methods in disparate contexts are thus unified and a systematic control over approximations to the models, in which the point interactions are replaced by more regular ones, is provided. The first edition of this monograph generated considerable interest for those learning advanced mathematical topics in quantum mechanics, especially those connected to the Schrödinger equations. This second edition includes a new appendix by Pavel Exner, who has prepared a summary of the progress made in the field since 1988. His summary, centering around two-body point interaction problems, is followed by a bibliography focusing on essential developments made since 1988. The material is suitable for graduate students and researchers interested in quantum mechanics and Schrödinger operators. |

Strange Story of the Quantum
Hoffmann Loses and Finds Form Hoffmann does not ask or answer that last question, but he discovers form in another way. A supposed particulate object can possess a quantum without any formal precision; that is, you can't know its position or momentum exactly. Particles disappear into a smear and without them so do atoms (and molecules, etc.). In Hoffmann's analogy, you can see flowing water or water molecules, but you can't see both. The flow disappears when you try to discover of what it consists (where does the fire go when it goes out?). Similarly spacetime disappears among the indeterminate particles. This supposed event causes Hoffmann some regret, but why should it? He believes, it seems, in the perceived forms and cannot give them up for any indiscernable smears of action. We don't get any such affirmation, however. He obeys the unspoken protocol never to mix physics and metaphysics.
Physics can be Fun Hoffman wrote this book as if he is speaking directly to you, with a sense of humor and wit. Are physicist right-well, most of the time.

Excellent overview of the material
A Unique and Interesting Book. It's about mathematical modeling, power, and beauty.Physics background is not required.Maybe no idea is even better!Prof. Schechter has spent much time preparing the contents, so you don't have to look around. This book could be used as a first course in mathematical physics, or a supplement of mathematical modeling or functional analysis.Prof. Schechter teaches us about translating QM postulates into math.Starts off very simple 1-D case for a particle, and no more.Again, isn't that enough? I think "encouraging" is the best word to describe his style for this book.A very gentle math teacher.The quality of math is as good as von Neumann or Weyl, and the representation is better.He even tells you what probability really is.(Do you know?) It's more user-friendly than many other mathematical physics books.And the cover is maybe one of the most beautiful among Dover paperbacks. Yet another "Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics" -- a very unique one! I was very lucky to encounter this book which was almost hidden in a pile of books. Attracted by the cover design, so I pulled it out hard.Then found that I was right. If you are kind-of math guy and interested in QM or modeling as well, check this book out.It's hard to find in bookstores, though. ___________________________________ |

Strange World Of Quantum Mechanics
Somewhat brief In short, he present some basic quantum strangness, i.e., nonlocality and wave-particle duality, through simplistic experiments, but avoids the implications completely. Anyone with preexisting knowledge of quantum mechanics will find this very disappointing, since it's 'old hat.'Most disappointing of all is the omission of further discussion of the popular superstring or M-theory; it is only mentioned in passing very briefly. So if you're not familiar at all with the strange world of quantum mechanics, this may be of interest, although you'll feel a little let down that the truly weird implications are not further elaborated on [e.g. the many worlds interpretation].
Great Book
A no-nonsense, qualitative primer Strangeness,obviously, depends on our sense of intuition, and our sense of intuitiondepends upon the rules of engagement in the world in which we live.Mostof us live in a world dominated by classical physics where objects have adefinite position, velocity, mass, energy, etc.It is because of ourintimate personal experience with this classical world that non-classicalenvironments like the very fast and the very tiny seem counter intuitive. Styer's book aims to help the reader understand the experiences of thequantum world.Though real quantum intuition cannot come from a book,Styer helps the reader gain a measure of intuition regarding what happensat the quantum level.Styer's book is one of the best I've seen forexplaining quantum mechanics in a rigorously qualitative manner that'sunderstandable by virtually anyone with the intellectual discipline tolearn new ideas.[The other book I recommend in this area, and from whichStyer uses as a frequent reference, is "QED, The Strange Theory ofLight and Matter," by Richard Feynman.For someone just starting outin his or her study of quantum mechanics, I recommend Feynman's bookfollowed by Styer's.Both are qualitative and have little mathematics. For an introduction to the mathematics of quantum mechanics (usingmathematics at the freshman college level) I suggest Sam Treiman's"The Odd Quantum."These three books form an excellent basis fora course in study that tackles quantum physics at the quantitativelevel.] The book has 15 chapters, but is only 150 pages long, so eachchapter is rather short.The chapters are organized nicely, however, andeach has a specific goal for the reader, with good illustrations throughoutand thought-provoking questions at the end (numeric answers are in the backof the book, though many questions do not have a numeric answer).Unlikethe questions found in some textbooks, Styer's questions are formulatedspecifically to build insight into the main issues presented in thechapters, and to extend upon them.I strongly suggest answering eachquestion in detail, as it will greatly enrich the experience of readingthis book. Styer is a master at explaining the central concepts ofquantum mechanics in an intuitive and visual manner (his style ofpresentation is similar to Feynman's).Unlike many other authors, Styerdoes not introduce quantum mechanics by using the double-slit experiment. Instead, Styer bases almost all his arguments on an idealized (portable andconfigurable) Stern-Gerlach analyzer, which measures the magnetic spin ofquantum particles (he later uses a modified form to introduce quantuminterference).Styer does all this, and masterfully, by usingnon-technical language that nevertheless maintains the integrity of theideas embodied in quantum mechanics. A brief introduction, some stuffon how classical magnetic needles behave in a magnetic field, a descriptionof the Stern-Gerlach experiment, and the "conundrum ofprojections," or the quantization of quantum spin, take up the firstfour chapters.Chapter 5 is a primer on simple concepts in statistics andlays the groundwork for later chapters.Chapters 6 and 7 deal with theEinstein-Podolsky-Rosen experiments, which I found to be among the simplestand most illuminating that I've found in an introductory text.Typical ofStyer's book throughout, he shows that the "paradox" arises fromfalse assumptions in which we try to project our intuition from theclassical world into the quantum world. Styer describes the double-slitexperiment, but he saves it till chapters 8 and 9 and explains it not justin terms of photons but also in terms of atoms as well.The discussion ofquantal interference leads naturally to a further expansion of the conceptof amplitudes and probability in quantum mechanics.The book ends with achapter on quantum cryptography, a chapter on the quantum-mechanicalbehavior of a quantum ball, and a chapter that has a brief introduction ofwavefunction. There are also three excellent apprentices (these should beread with the same commitment as reading all the chapters in the book) andan adequate index.Styer also has a very nice list of other readingmaterial on quantum mechanics, as well as some biting editorial statementsabout errors in popular books on the subject.Styer's approach is nononsense.Rather than waxing philosophical about the dual particle-wavenature of matter, Styer correctly helps the reader realize that tounderstand quantum mechanics we must do so by understanding the behavior ofquanta and not try to force our classical perceptions.As Styer says:"In fact an atom is no more a small hard marble [or a classical wave]than an atom's magnetic needle is a pointy stick.These classical ideasare simply wrong when applied to very small objects." Very wellwritten in an engaging, no-nonsense style that cuts straight to the heartof the issue, this is simply one of the best introductory (qualitative andwithout mathematics) books I've read on the subject.Whether you arereading about quantum mechanics for the very first time, or simply tryingto increase your intuitive feel for the subject, I highly recommend it. ...
