No-Nonsense Quantum Mechanics: A Student-Friendly Introduction, Second Edition

<p><b>Learning Quantum Mechanics doesn€t have to be hard</b></p><p><i>What if there was a way to learn Quantum Mechanics without all the usual fluff and mystification? What if there were a book that allowed you to see the whole picture and not just tiny parts of it?</i></p><p>Thoughts like this are the reason that No-Nonsense Quantum Mechanics now exists.</p><p><b>What will you learn from this book?</b></p><ul><li>Get to know the fundamental quantum features €" grasp how different nature works at the level of elementary particles.</li><li>Learn to describe Quantum Mechanics mathematically €" understand the origin and meaning of the most important quantum equations: the Schr¶dinger equation + the canonical commutation relations.</li><li>Master the most important quantum systems €" read step-by-step calculations and understand the general algorithm we use to describe them.</li><li>Get an understanding you can be proud of €" learn why there are alternative frameworks to describe Quantum Mechanics and how they are connected to the standard wave description.</li></ul><p><b>No-Nonsense Quantum Mechanics is the most student-friendly book on Quantum Mechanics ever written.</b></p><p>Here€s why.</p><ul><li>First of all, it's is nothing like a formal university lecture.  Instead, it€s like a casual conservation with a more experienced student. This also means that nothing is assumed to be €œobvious€ or €œeasy to see€.</li><li>Each chapter, each section, and each page focusses solely on the goal to help you understand. Nothing is introduced without a thorough motivation and it is always clear where each equation comes from.</li><li>The book contains <i>no fluff</i> since unnecessary content quickly leads to confusion. Instead, it ruthlessly focusses on the fundamentals and makes sure you€ll understand them in detail.</li></ul><p>The primary focus on the readers€ needs is also visible in dozens of small features that you won€t find in any other textbook<br></p><ul><li>In total, the book contains <i>more than 100 illustrations</i> that help you understand the most important concepts visually.<br></li><li>In each chapter, you€ll find <i>fully annotated equations</i> and calculations are done carefully step-by-step. This makes it much easier to understand what€s going on in.</li><i> Whenever a concept is used that was already introduced previously there is a short sidenote that reminds you where it was first introduced and often recites the main points.</i> <i> In addition, there are summaries at the beginning of each chapter that make sure you won€t get lost.</i></ul>
