Quantum Physics An Introduction Based On Photons

This Textbook Is Intended To Accompany A Two-semester Course On Quantum Mechanics For Physics Students. Along With The Traditional Material Covered In Such A Course (states, Operators, Schrdinger Equation, Hydrogen Atom), It Offers In-depth Discussion Of The Hilbert Space, The Nature Of Measurement, Entanglement, And Decoherencenbsp;- Concepts That Are Crucial For The Understanding Of Quantum Physics And Its Relation To The Macroscopic World, But Rarely Covered In Entry-level Textbooks. The Book Uses A Mathematically Simple Physical System - Photon Polarization - As The Visualization Tool, Permitting The Student To See The Entangled Beauty Of The Quantum World From The Very First Pages.
