Quantum mechanics: the theoretical minimum
Susskind, Leonard
Quantum mechanics: the theoretical minimum Susskind, Leonard - United Kingdom Penguin Books 2015 - XX, 364 p.
Table of Contents:
1. Systems and experiments
2. Quantum states
3. Principles of quantum mechanics
4. Time and change
5. Uncertainty and time dependence
6. Combining systems: entanglement
7. More on entanglement
8. Particles and waves
9. Particle dynamics
10. The harmonic oscillator
In The Theoretical Minimum, world-class physicist Leonard Susskind provided a brilliant first course in classical mechanics, offering readers not an oversimplified introduction but the real thing - everything you need to start doing physics, and nothing more. Now he returns with the next challenge that every aspiring physics buff must tackle: quantum mechanics.
Unlike most popular physics books, Susskind and his co-author Art Friedman teach the maths and equations that are essential to any real understanding of quantum mechanics. Combining crystal-clear explanations, witty and helpful dialogues, and basic exercises, Quantum Mechanics is, to paraphrase Einstein, as simple as possible, but no simpler.
