Overview

Forming an overall picture of the field while learning about advances this book offers a guide to the conceptual framework of quantum mechanics. This book presents a more streamlined version of the Copenhagen interpretation, showing its logical consistency and completeness. The problem of measurement is a major area of inquiry, with the author surveying its history from Planck to Heisenberg before describing the consistent-histories interpretation. Itdraws upon research on the decoherence effect (related to the modern resolution of the famous Scrodinger's cat problem) and a formulation of the correspondence between quantum and particle physics. This book is aimed at students, experienced physicists, mathematicians and philosophers.
