From Cbits to Qbits: Teaching computer scientists quantum mechanics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
A strategy is suggested for teaching mathematically literate students, with no background in physics, just enough quantum mechanics for them to understand and develop algorithms in quantum computation and quantum information theory.

Framework for understanding the patterns of student difficulties in quantum mechanics

open access: yesPhysical 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 ...

Subdynamics as a mechanism for objective description [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
The relationship between microsystems and macrosystems is considered in the context of quantum field formulation of statistical mechanics: it is argued that problems on foundations of quantum mechanics can be solved relying on this relationship.

A probabilistic approach to quantum mechanics based on tomograms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
It is usually believed that a picture of Quantum Mechanics in terms of true probabilities cannot be given due to the uncertainty relations. Here we discuss a tomographic approach to quantum states that leads to a probability representation of quantum ...

DIRAC AND HAMILTON

open access: yesActa Polytechnica, 2014
Dirac devised his theory of Quantum Mechanics and recognised that his operators resembled the canonical coordinates of Hamiltonian Mechanics. This gave the latter a new lease of life.

Contextuality in Classical Physics and Its Impact on the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics

open access: yesEntropy, 2021
It is shown that the hallmark quantum phenomenon of contextuality is present in classical statistical mechanics (CSM). It is first shown that the occurrence of contextuality is equivalent to there being observables that can differentiate between pure and

Learn Quantum Mechanics with Haskell [PDF]

open access: yesElectronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2016
To learn quantum mechanics, one must become adept in the use of various mathematical structures that make up the theory; one must also become familiar with some basic laboratory experiments that the theory is designed to explain.

Generalization of Classical Statistical Mechanics to Quantum Mechanics and Stable Property of Condensed Matter

open access: yes, 2005
Classical statistical average values are generally generalized to average values of quantum mechanics, it is discovered that quantum mechanics is direct generalization of classical statistical mechanics, and we generally deduce both a new general ...

Interpretations of quantum mechanics, and interpretations of violation of Bell's inequality [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The discussion of the foundations of quantum mechanics is complicated by the fact that a number of different issues are closely entangled. Three of these issues are i) the interpretation of probability, ii) the choice between realist and empiricist ...
