  • Memorial Volume For Stanley Mandelstam

    by Nathan Jacob Berkovits, Lars Brink, Ling-lie Chau, Kok Khoo Phua, Charles B Thorn ...
    Stanley Mandelstam (1928-2016) was one of the most influential and respected particle theorists. Coming as a young chemical engineer from South Africa to study theoretical physics in England, he quickly became a leading physicist in his field. With his deep understanding of quantum field theory, he pioneered the development of the analytic S-matrix theory as well as the path-dependent formulations ... Read more

  • A Prelude to Quantum Field Theory

    by John Donoghue, Lorenzo Sorbo ...
    A concise, beginner-friendly introduction to quantum field theoryQuantum field theory is a powerful framework that extends quantum mechanics in ways that are essential in many modern applications. While it is the fundamental formalism for the study of many areas of physics, quantum field theory requires a different way of thinking, and many newcomers to the subject struggle with the transition ...

  • Speakable and Unspeakable in Quantum Mechanics

    Collected Papers on Quantum Philosophy

    by J. S. Bell ...
    John Bell, FRS was one of the leading expositors and interpreters of modern quantum theory. He is particularly famous for his discovery of the crucial difference between the predictions of conventional quantum mechanics and the implications of local causality, a concept insisted on by Einstein. John Bell's work played a major role in the development of our current understanding of the profound ... Read more

    An Exploration of the Physical Meaning of Quantum Theory

    by Travis Norsen ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Authored by an acclaimed teacher of quantum physics and philosophy, this textbook pays special attention to the aspects that many courses sweep under the carpet. Traditional courses in quantum mechanics teach students how to use the quantum formalism to make calculations. But even the best students - indeed, especially the best students - emerge rather confused about what, exactly, the theory says ... Read more
