UNDERGRADUATE LECTURE NOTES IN PHYSICS FOUNDA...

Authored by an acclaimed teacher of quantum physics and philosophy  this textbook pays special
attention to the aspects that many courses sweep under the carpet. Traditional courses in
quantum mechanics teach students how to use the quantum formalism to make calculations. But
even the best students - indeed  especially the best students - emerge rather confused about
what  exactly  the theory says is going on  physically  in microscopic systems. This
supplementary textbook is designed to help such students understand that they are not alone in
their confusions (luminaries such as Albert Einstein  Erwin Schroedinger  and John Stewart Bell
having shared them)  to sharpen their understanding of the most important difficulties
associated with interpreting quantum theory in a realistic manner  and to introduce them to the
most promising attempts to formulate the theory in a way that is physically clear and coherent.
The text is accessible to students with at least one semester of prior exposure to quantum (or
modern) physics and includes over a hundred engaging end-of-chapter Projects that make the book
suitable for either a traditional classroom or for self-study.
