Wine Bar Gu Ryoshirikigaku Kogi Ka / Original Title: LECTURES on QUANTUM MECHANICS Gencho Dai2 Han No Honyaku (Chiku Ma Gakugei Bunko)

[Machine Translation] There are many textbooks on quantum mechanics, including Dirac's and Schiff's, that are highly regarded as masterpieces. While each of them has its own characteristics, Weinberg's attempt in this book is to provide an overview of the world of quantum mechanics, emphasizing the principle of "symmetry" hidden in the natural world and delving into topics that are not touched upon in many books. This is a new textbook with deep insights that only the author can provide, and with ample care for understanding. In the lower part of the book, the author covers topics ranging from approximate calculations of time-dependent systems, the theory of scattering, and the dipole radiation formula to quantum key delivery, entanglement, and quantum computers.

ディラックにシッフ、量子力学には名著の誉れ高い教科書が数多く存在する。それぞれに特徴があるなか、ワインバーグが本書で試みるのは、自然界に潜む「対称性」の原理に重きを置きつつ、多くの書籍では触れられることのない話題にまで踏み込んで量子力学の世界を一望することである。著者ならではの深い洞察で、理解のための心配りが十分になされた、新しい教科書。下巻では時間に依存する系の近似計算、散乱の理論、双極子放射の公式から、量子鍵配送、エンタングルメント(量子もつれ)、量子コンピューターの話題まで。
