Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2019 We developed and validated a conceptual survey that focuses on the formalism and postulates of quantum mechanics covered in upper-level undergraduate quantum mechanics courses. The concepts included in the quantum mechanics formalism and postulate survey

Introduction to Quantum Mechanics [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2008 The purpose of this contribution is to give a very brief introduction to Quantum Mechanics for an audience of mathematicians. I will follow Segal's approach to Quantum Mechanics paying special attention to algebraic issues. The usual representation of Quantum Mechanics on Hilbert spaces is also discussed.

The Many Classical Faces of Quantum Structures
Entropy, 2017 Interpretational problems with quantum mechanics can be phrased precisely by only talking about empirically accessible information. This prompts a mathematical reformulation of quantum mechanics in terms of classical mechanics.

The Pure State Space of Quantum Mechanics as Hermitian Symmetric Space [PDF]
, 2002 The pure state space of Quantum Mechanics is investigated as Hermitian Symmetric Kaehler manifold. The classical principles of Quantum Mechanics (Quantum Superposition Principle, Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, Quantum Probability Principle) and ...

Quantum geodesics in quantum mechanics [PDF]
Journal of Mathematical PhysicsWe show that the standard Heisenberg algebra of quantum mechanics admits a noncommutative differential calculus Ω1 depending on the Hamiltonian p2/2m + V(x), and a flat quantum connection ∇ with torsion such that a previous quantum-geometric formulation of flow along autoparallel curves (or “geodesics”) is exactly Schrödinger’s equation. The connection

Quantum Mechanics and an Ontology of Intersubjectivity: Perils and Promises
Open Theology, 2018 Contemporary theology has realized the importance of integrating what we know from the “new physics”-quantum mechanics and relativity theory-into the metaphysical and ontological categories used by theology to consider God, the world, and the God-world ...

Emergent Quantum Mechanics: David Bohm Centennial Perspectives
Entropy, 2019 Emergent quantum mechanics (EmQM) explores the possibility of an ontology for quantum mechanics. The resurgence of interest in realist approaches to quantum mechanics challenges the standard textbook view, which represents an operationalist approach. The

Framework for understanding the patterns of student difficulties in quantum mechanics
Physical Review Special Topics. Physics Education Research, 2015 [This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Upper Division Physics Courses.] Compared with introductory physics, relatively little is known about the development of expertise in advanced physics courses, especially in the case of quantum mechanics ...
