Isbn: 9798257789403 - operators and observations: an algebraic foundation for quantum physics (5 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A Rigorous Mathematical Journey from Linear Algebra to Quantum Field TheoryOperators and Observations presents quantum physics through the elegant lens of operator algebras and spectral theory, offering a unified mathematical foundation that bridges pure mathematics and theoretical physics. This graduate-level textbook transforms the traditional approach to quantum mechanics by placing algebraic structures at the center, revealing the deep geometric and categorical principles underlying quantum phenomena.Why This Book Is DifferentRather than treating quantum mechanics as a collection of postulates and recipes, this text builds the entire framework from five fundamental structuring principles: Algebra-Geometry Duality, Spectral Identity, Symmetry-Representation Duality, Tensor Product Composition, and Operations on the Zero Vector. Each concept emerges naturally from rigorous mathematical foundations.What You'll LearnPart I: Algebraic Foundations establishes the language of vector spaces, inner products, and operator spectra with complete proofs and geometric intuition.Part II: The Geometry of Observation develops the spectral theorem, functional calculus, and the theory of positive operators and measurements-showing how physical observations emerge from algebraic structure.Part III: Symmetry and Structure explores unitary operators, Lie groups and algebras, and representation theory, connecting quantum dynamics to geometric symmetries.Part IV: Composition and the Algebraic Frontier ventures into advanced territory: tensor products and entanglement geometry, C*-algebras and the GNS construction, algebraic quantum field theory (AQFT), and cutting-edge research frontiers including noncommutative geometry, holographic entanglement entropy, and quantum gravity.- Tensor products and quantum entanglement (Schmidt decomposition, Bell inequalities, SLOCC classification)- C*-algebras and von Neumann algebras with complete GNS construction- Algebraic quantum field theory: Haag-Kastler axioms, Reeh-Schlieder and Bisognano-Wichmann theorems- Modular theory and Type III factors- Connections to contemporary research: AdS/CFT, tensor networks, quantum error correction14 comprehensive chapters with complete proofs and rigorous development90+ graduate-level exercises with detailed solutions manual included3-5 worked examples per chapter demonstrating techniques and applications5 technical appendices covering calculus as emergent algebra, Grassmannian structures, relativistic spacetime, category theory, and functional analysis prerequisitesComplete solutions manual with problem statements repeated for convenienceWho This Book Is For- Graduate students in theoretical physics seeking mathematical rigor- Mathematics students interested in applications to quantum theory- Researchers transitioning between pure mathematics and mathematical physics- Anyone wanting to understand quantum mechanics through modern algebraic and geometric perspectivesPrerequisites include solid undergraduate linear algebra, basic real analysis, and mathematical maturity. Familiarity with quantum mechanics is helpful but not required-the book builds quantum theory from mathematical foundations.From Foundations to Research FrontiersBeginning with elementary vector spaces and culminating in algebraic quantum field theory and contemporary research problems, this textbook provides a complete education in the mathematical structures underlying quantum physics. Each chapter concludes with a bridge to the next topic, creating a unified narrative from first principles to open questions in quantum Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
