SpringerBriefs in Physics,2191-5423Includes index.3-030-60417-9 Position operators of non-relativistic quantum mechanics -- A bundle picture of quantum mechanics -- A beam of particles = a plane wave? -- Star-product formulation of quantum mechanics -- Can there be a non-linear quantum mechanics? -- Interaction = exchange of quanta -- Proof of Wigner's theorem.In this book, the author addresses selected topics in quantum mechanics that are not usually covered in books, but which are very helpful in developing a student's interest in, and a deeper understanding of the subject. The topics include two different ways of looking at quantum mechanics; three clarifying topics that students often find confusing; one classic theorem never proved in the classroom; and a discussion on whether there can be a non-linear quantum mechanics. The book can be used as supporting material for graduate-level core courses on quantum mechanics.SpringerBriefs in Physics,2191-5423Quantum theoryElementary Particles, Quantum Field TheoryMathematical physicsQuantum theory.Elementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory.Mathematical physics.530.12Sharan Pankaj843856MiAaPQMiAaPQUtOrBLWBOOK996418439803316Some Unusual Topics in Quantum Mechanics1882756UNISA
