Traditional courses in quantum mechanics teach students how to use the quantum formalism to make calculations. But even the best students - indeed, \u003ci\u003eespecially\u003c\/i\u003e the best students - emerge rather confused about what, exactly, the theory says is going on, physically, in microscopic systems. This supplementary textbook is designed to help such students understand that they are not alone in their confusions (luminaries such as Albert Einstein, Erwin Schroedinger, and John Stewart Bell having shared them), to sharpen their understanding of the most important difficulties associated with interpreting quantum theory in a realistic manner, and to introduce them to the most promising attempts to formulate the theory in a way that is physically clear and coherent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe text is accessible to students with at least one semester of prior exposure to quantum (or \"modern\") physics and includes over a hundred engaging end-of-chapter \"Projects\" that make the book suitable for either a traditional classroom or for self-study. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2017-09-06\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319658667\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-65867-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 310\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47400951513228,"sku":"9783319658667","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319658667.jpg?v=1775786837","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319658667","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
