Title
The Conceptual Foundations Of Quantum Mechanics
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In This Book Jeffrey A. Barrett Provides An Introduction To The History And Conceptual Foundations Of Quantum Mechanics. He Begins With A Description Of Classical Mechanics And A Discussion Of The Quantum Phenomena That Radically Undermine Our Commonsense Classical Intuitions About How The Physical World Works. He Then Considers The Physical And Conceptual Arguments That Led To The Standard Von Neumanndirac Formulation Of Quantum Mechanics And How The Standard Theory Explains Quantum Phenomena. This Includes A Discussion Of How The Theory'S Two Dynamical Laws Work With The Standard Interpretation Of States To Explain Determinate Measurement Records, Quantum Statistics, Interference Effects, Entanglement, Decoherence, And Quantum Nonlocality.A Careful Understanding Of How The Standard Theory Works Ultimately Leads To The Quantum Measurement Problem. Barrett Considers How This Problem Threatens The Logical Consistency Of The Standard Theory And Then Turns To A Discussion Of The Main Proposals For Resolving It. This Includes Collapse Formulations Of Quantum Mechanics, The Various Manyworlds Theories, And Bohmian Mechanics. In Discussing Alternative Formulations He Pays Particular Attention To The Explanatory Role Played By Each Theory'S Empirical Ontology And Associated Metaphysical Commitments, And The Conceptual Tradeoffs Between Theoretical Options. The Book Is Wellsuited To Those Interested In Physics And The History And Philosophy Of Quantum Mechanics.
