- Summary:
- This Field Guide serves as a reference guide to the primary results, explanations, and interpretations of quantum mechanics that foregoes the introductions, derivations, and conceptual discussions found in most courses and textbooks on the subject. Written primarily for physicists and engineers in quantum-mechanics-related fields, this book may also aid students, particularly as the concepts and methods of quantum mechanics find increasing applicability in more technologies.
