The opening chapters summarize elementary concepts of twentieth century quantum mechanics and describe the mathematical methods employed in the field, with clear explanation of, for example, Hilbert space, complex variables, complex vector spaces and Dirac notation, and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. After detailed discussion of the Schrödinger equation, subsequent chapters focus on isotropic vectors, used to construct spinors, and on conceptual problems associated with measurement, superposition, and decoherence in quantum systems. Here, due attention is paid to Bell?s inequality and the possible existence of hidden variables. Finally, progression toward quantum computation is examined in detail: if quantum computers can be made practicable, enormous enhancements in computing power, artificial intelligence, and secure communication will result. This book will be of interest to a wide readership seeking to understand modern quantum mechanics and its potential applications. 410 0$aUNITEXT for Physics,$x2198-7882 606 $aQuantum theory 606 $aQuantum computers 606 $aPhysics 606 $aMathematical physics 606 $aQuantum Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080 606 $aQuantum Computing$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M14070 606 $aMathematical Methods in Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19013 606 $aMathematical Applications in the Physical Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13120 606 $aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P29000 615 0$aQuantum theory. 615 0$aQuantum computers. 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aMathematical physics. 615 14$aQuantum Physics. 615 24$aQuantum Computing. 615 24$aMathematical Methods in Physics. 615 24$aMathematical Applications in the Physical Sciences. 615 24$aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics. 676 $a530.12 700 $aFano$b Guido$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0732 702 $aBlinder$b S M$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254578203321 996 $aTwenty-First Century Quantum Mechanics: Hilbert Space to Quantum Computers$91993184 997 $aUNINA
