Book Description

This open access book develops the world of quantum physics without the onerous math prerequisites of all other texts. It is appropriate for advanced high-school students, lifelong learners, citizen scientists, undergraduate students, graduate students, and even current practitioners, engaging a wide group of topics that require no math beyond high-school level.

• James K. Freericks is currently Professor and McDevitt Chair in the Department of Physics, Georgetown University.

• The Physics of Quantum Mechanics (James Binney, et al.)

  This book aims to give students a good understanding of how Quantum Mechanics describes the material world. It shows that the theory follows naturally from the use of probability amplitudes to derive probabilities.

• From Classical to Quantum Shannon Theory (Mark M. Wilde)

  The aim of this book is to develop “from the ground up” many of the major, exciting, re- and post-millennium developments in the general area of study known as quantum Shannon theory.

• Modern Cryptography Volume 2: Post-Quantum Cryptography

  This open access book covers the most cutting-edge and hot research topics and fields of post-quantum cryptography. The main purpose of this book is to focus on the computational complexity theory of lattice ciphers.

• Foundations of Quantum Theory: Operator Algebras

  This book studies the foundations of quantum theory through its relationship to classical physics, includes comprehensive appendices on functional analysis and C*-algebras, as well as a briefer one on logic, category theory, and topos theory.

• Relativistic Quantum Mechanics: Relativistic Quantum Fields

  This book provides a classroom-tested introduction to the formal and conceptual foundations of quantum field theory. Only requires previous courses in Classical Mechanics, relativity, and Quantum Mechanics.

• Geometry of Quantum Theory (V. S. Varadarajan)

  This book is a classic on the foundations of quantum theory. It examines the subject from a point of view that goes back to Heisenberg and Dirac and whose definitive mathematical formulation is due to von Neumann.

• A Primer on Quantum Fluids (Carlo F. Barenghi, et al.)

  The aim of this primer is to cover the essential theoretical information, quickly and concisely, in order to enable readers to tackle projects in topical areas of Quantum Fluids, for example, solitons, vortices and collective modes.
