Classes are over for the semester, and I've put together the lecture notes for my undergraduate “Quantum Mechanics for Mathematicians” course, which are available here. How needed is a better conceptual foundation for QM ? The conceptual duality between the subset and partition lattices can also be expressed using the metaphysical notions of “substance” and “form.” TwoLattices. Indeed the correspondence principle was proposed originally to ensure that the development of quantum mechanics produced results that asymptotically approached the predictions of classical physics on large-mass scales. I have just finished reading “The conceptual development of quantum mechanics“, by M. We show in the paper, that is indeed the message of quantum mechanics. Hughes was being creative in introducing his course and I applaud his efforts. Just like one should start from pseudo-Riemannian geometry in systematically developing General Relativity, one should start from von Neumann's quantum logics in systematically developing Quantum Theory. If this is to continue, conceptual and technical advances harnessing the power of quantum mechanics in microchips will need to be investigated within the next decade. However this is not to say that quantum mechanics cannot yield novel . Theoretical Concepts in Quantum Mechanics, edited by Mohammad Reza Pahlavani, InTech, Feb. This interpretation of QM grew out of work in mathematical logic that was developed without any thought of a connection with quantum mechanics. The basic system of ordinary logic, which is now almost invariably called “propositional” . An advanced treatise is the monograph The Conceptual Development of Quantum Mechanics by Max Jammer (New York: McGraw-Hill, 1966). Having in a small way tried to learn something about quantum mechanics I've found it daunting to wrap my head around its concepts.
