Specifically, it features the main experiments and postulates of quantum mechanics pointing out their mathematical prominent aspects showing how physical concepts and mathematical tools are deeply intertwined. The material covers topics such as analytic mechanics in Newtonian, Lagrangian, and Hamiltonian formulations, theory of light as formulated in special relativity, and then why quantum mechanics is necessary to explain experiments like the double-split, atomic spectra, and photoelectric effect. The Schrödinger equation and its solutions are developed in detail. It is pointed out that, starting from the concept of the harmonic oscillator, it is possible to develop advanced quantum mechanics. Furthermore, the mathematics behind the Heisenberg uncertainty principle is constructed towards advanced quantum mechanical principles. Relativistic quantum mechanics is finally considered. The book is devoted to undergraduate students from University courses of Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, and Engineering. It consists of 50 self-contained lectures, and any statement and theorem are demonstrated in detail. It is the companion book of "A Mathematical Journey to Relativity", by the same Authors, published by Springer in 2020. 410 0$aUNITEXT for Physics,$x2198-7890 606 $aQuantum theory 606 $aAtomic structure 606 $aMolecular structure 606 $aMathematical physics 606 $aFunctional analysis 606 $aQuantum Physics 606 $aAtomic and Molecular Structure and Properties 606 $aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics 606 $aFunctional Analysis 615 0$aQuantum theory. 615 0$aAtomic structure. 615 0$aMolecular structure. 615 0$aMathematical physics. 615 0$aFunctional analysis. 615 14$aQuantum Physics. 615 24$aAtomic and Molecular Structure and Properties. 615 24$aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics. 615 24$aFunctional Analysis. 676 $a530.12 700 $aCapozziello$b Salvatore$053560 702 $aBoskoff$b Wladimir-Georges$f1958- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910503008003321 996 $aA mathematical journey to quantum mechanics$92886953 997 $aUNINA
