Anyone who has always wanted to understand the hieroglyphs on Sheldon's
blackboard in the television series The Big Bang Theory or who wanted
to know exactly what the fate of Schrödinger's cat is all about will
find a short, descriptive introduction to the world of quantum mechanics
in this essential . In particular, the text focuses on the
mathematical description in the Hilbert space. The content goes beyond
popular scientific presentations, but is nevertheless suitable for
readers without special prior knowledge thanks to the clear examples.
This Springer essential is a translation of the original German 1st
edition essentials, Quantenmechanik by Martin Pieper published by
Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2019.The
translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine
translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was
done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read
stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer
Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the
production of books and on the related technologies to support the
authors.
