A First Introduction to Quantum Physics, Second Edition by Pieter KokEnglish | PDF,EPUB | 2023 | 304 Pages | ISBN : 3031161645 | 31 MB
In this undergraduate textbook, now in its 2nd edition, the author develops the quantum theory from first principles based on very simple experiments: a photon traveling through beam splitters to detectors, an electron moving through magnetic fields, and an atom emitting radiation. From the physical description of these experiments follows a natural mathematical description in terms of matrices and complex numbers.
