{"product_id":"quantum-measurement-paul-busch-9783319433875","title":"Quantum Measurement","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a book about the Hilbert space formulation of quantum mechanics and its measurement theory. It contains a synopsis of what became of the Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics since von Neumann's classic treatise with this title. Fundamental non-classical features of quantum mechanics--indeterminacy and incompatibility of observables, unavoidable measurement disturbance, entanglement, nonlocality--are explicated and analysed using the tools of operational quantum theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is divided into four parts: 1. Mathematics provides a systematic exposition of the Hilbert space and operator theoretic tools and relevant measure and integration theory leading to the Naimark and Stinespring dilation theorems; 2. Elements develops the basic concepts of quantum mechanics and measurement theory with a focus on the notion of approximate joint measurability; 3. Realisations offers in-depth studies of the fundamental observables of quantum mechanics and some of their measurement implementations; and 4. Foundations discusses a selection of foundational topics (quantum-classical contrast, Bell nonlocality, measurement limitations, measurement problem, operational axioms) from a measurement theoretic perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is addressed to physicists, mathematicians and philosophers of physics with an interest in the mathematical and conceptual foundations of quantum physics, specifically from the perspective of measurement theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Busch, Pekka Lahti, Juha-Pekka Pellonp粐\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3319433873\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783319433875\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/30\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 542\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.19d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2017","brand":"Paul Busch","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44717648052479,"sku":"9783319433875","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7e2ef291-617b-47a0-b428-5d7b8eecf98b.jpg?v=1705689005","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/quantum-measurement-paul-busch-9783319433875","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
