By Scott Corry

Structured as a discussion among a mathematician and a physicist, Symmetry and Quantum Mechanics unites the mathematical issues of this box right into a compelling and physically-motivated narrative that specializes in the crucial position of symmetry.


Aimed at complex undergraduate and starting graduate scholars in arithmetic with just a minimum heritage in physics, this identify is usually beneficial to physicists looking a mathematical advent to the topic. half I specializes in spin, and covers such themes as Lie teams and algebras, whereas half II deals an account of place and momentum within the context of the illustration concept of the Heisenberg staff, alongside the way in which offering an off-the-cuff dialogue of basic techniques from research comparable to self-adjoint operators on Hilbert house and the Stone-von Neumann Theorem. Mathematical thought is utilized to actual examples resembling spin-precession in a magnetic box, the harmonic oscillator, the endless round good, and the hydrogen atom.
