Introduction to the Mathematical Structure of Quantum Mechanics, An: A Short Course for Mathematicians (2nd Edition)

Arising out of the need for Quantum Mechanics (QM) to be part of the common education of mathematics students, this book formulates the mathematical structure of QM in terms of the C*-algebra of observables, which is argued on the basis of the operational definition of measurements and the duality between states and observables.

List of contents
