Hilbert Space Operators in Quantum Physics

Market: Mathematicians, researchers, teachers, and graduate students specializing in quantum physics, mathematical physics, and applied mathematics. "I really enjoyed reading this work. It is very well written, by three real experts in the field. It stands quite alone....The translation is remarkably good." John R. Taylor, University of Colorado Based on lectures delivered over the past two decades, this book explains in detail the theory of linear Hilbert-space operators and its uses in quantum physics. The central mathematical tool of this book is the spectral theory of self-adjoint operators, which together with functional analysis and an introduction to the theory of operator sets and algebras, is used in a systematic analysis of the operator aspect of quantum theory. In addition, the theory of Hilbert-space operators is discussed in conjunction with various applications such as Schrodinger operators and scattering theory.
