TI - Quantum mechanics : : its early development and the road to entanglement SN - 9781860949784 U1 - 530.1209 STE PY - 2008/// CY - London PB - Imperial college press KW - Quantum theory KW - History KW - Matrix mechanics N1 - Includes bibliographical references and index N2 - "This book provides the reader with an explanation of the origin and establishment of quantum mechanics, with the mathematics in a digestible form, together with a descriptive survey of later developments up to the present day. The mathematical treatment closely follows the original treatment, but in modern terms, using uniform symbolism as much as possible and with simplifications (e.g. the use of one dimension instead of three) to avoid unnecessarily complicated-looking mathematics." "Containing an extensive bibliography and useful appendices as well as references to original works, reviews, and biographies, the reader is well-equipped to delve further into the subject. In addition to its importance for those studying physics, it is also valuable for those studying the history of science."--Jacket ER -
