{"product_id":"foundations-of-quantum-theory-klaas-landsman-9783319847382","title":"Foundations of Quantum Theory: From Classical Concepts to Operator Algebras","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book studies the foundations of quantum theory through its relationship to classical physics. This idea goes back to the Copenhagen Interpretation (in the original version due to Bohr and Heisenberg), which the author relates to the mathematical formalism of operator algebras originally created by von Neumann. The book therefore includes comprehensive appendices on functional analysis and C*-algebras, as well as a briefer one on logic, category theory, and topos theory. Matters of foundational as well as mathematical interest that are covered in detail include symmetry (and its \"spontaneous\" breaking), the measurement problem, the Kochen-Specker, Free Will, and Bell Theorems, the Kadison-Singer conjecture, quantization, indistinguishable particles, the quantum theory of large systems, and quantum logic, the latter in connection with the topos approach to quantum theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is Open Access under a CC BY licence. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Klaas Landsman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3319847384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783319847382\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/28\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 861\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.78d","brand":"Klaas Landsman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44213279654143,"sku":"9783319847382","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4e95bac3-ff5a-4be6-972f-6ff46d49d594.jpg?v=1692112999","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/foundations-of-quantum-theory-klaas-landsman-9783319847382","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
