Review: Great introduction and overview of the state-of-the-art of quantum mechanics - This book is a joy to read! It is beautifully executed with many attractive, hand-drawn figures to show complex concepts. Remarks are in the margin, easy to read as part of the flow, rather then the footnotes. The author writes in an easy and clear style. The material is well organized with cross references in the book easy to track. A great introduction to quantum mechanics as it is practiced and understood today. The overview of all major formalisms will help the student when exploring the literature further. The book ends with a nice guide to excellent books for further in-depth study.
Review: This book is exactly what the title says! - I spent years trying to gain an understanding of quantum mechanics. I had studied partial differential equations and understood them. I knew how to solve the wave equation. But what the wave equation represented and how it came to be was a mystery. I got the best books written on the subject that were recommended by phd’s in physics, but none explained what things meant. They all assumed you already knew. I posted the wave equation on the blackboard in my office determined to learn what it meant. Thanks to this book I understand it so well I can derive it in my head. I had also seen the term “symmetry” tossed around a lot without explanation until I read this book and now I understand what it is and why it is important. The reason a “ket” is the transposed complex cojugate of a “bra” is now crystal clear. These are just a few examples of what I personally got out of this book. Schwichtenberg does a great job of illuminating this subject and I have or will purchase the rest pf his books on physics. He comes off very modest, but he has a deep understanding of the subject matter and the ability to explain things in a way that makes sense. The book is more about understanding and presents the basic problems but is not meant to be an in depth compendium of problems. I like this because it allows me to read the entire book at a reasonable rate without getting bogged down in arcane details of finite mathematics that won’t be memorized and can be looked up when needed to solve a problem. I still need to solve a lot of problems to become really good at quantum mechanics, but things are no longer mysterious. I highly recommend this book if you want just the facts to form a basis of understanding.
