{"product_id":"world-according-to-quantum-mechanics-ulrich-mohrhoff-9789813273696","title":"World According to Quantum Mechanics, The: Why the Laws of Physics Make Perfect Sense After All (Second Edition)","description":"'The authors should be recognised for their efforts to present a mathematically rigorous introduction to Quantum Mechanics (QM) in a form that has broad appeal; there are not many introductory QM texts that would cover, for example, decoherence. I think many educators would appreciate this book, especially those interested in courses that combine science and philosophy.'Contemporary PhysicsApart from providing a lucid introduction to the mathematical formalism and conceptual foundations of quantum mechanics, we explain why the laws of physics have the form that they do. In addition, we present a new and unique look at the quantum world, steering clear of two common errors: the error of the ψ-ontologists, who reify a calculational tool; and the error of the anti-realists, for whom physical theories are simply devices for expressing regularities among observations.The new edition of this acclaimed text adds around 200 pages on a variety of topics, such as how the founders sought to make sense of quantum mechanics, Kant's theory of science, QBism, Everettian quantum mechanics, de Broglie-Bohm theory, environmental decoherence, contextuality, nonlocality, and the paradox of subjectivity -- the curious fact that the world seems to exist twice, once for us, in our minds, and once by itself, independently of us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ulrich Mohrhoff, Manu Jaiswal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9813273690\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789813273696\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Scientific Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/29\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 500\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.06d","brand":"Ulrich Mohrhoff","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43983550382335,"sku":"9789813273696","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4ee3b8eb-4667-4412-9419-6fc7307263a5.jpg?v=1683267317","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/world-according-to-quantum-mechanics-ulrich-mohrhoff-9789813273696","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
