Quirky Quantum Concepts explains the more important and more difficult concepts in theoretical quantum mechanics, especially those which are consistently neglected or confusing in many common expositions. The emphasis is on physical understanding, which is necessary for the development of new, cutting edge science. In particular, this book explains the basis for many standard quantum methods, which are too often presented without sufficient motivation or interpretation. The book is not a simplification or popularization: it is real science for real scientists. Physics includes math, and this book does not shy away from it, but neither does it ... Read more

Reviews for Quirky Quantum Concepts: Physical, Conceptual, Geometric, and Pictorial Physics that Didn´t Fit in Your Textbook
From the book reviews: This is a very useful and interesting complement to any elementary exposition of quantum mechanics. ... The book is written in a reader-friendly manner and explains the basis for standard quantum methods and also covers most of the unusual and challenging concepts in a course on non-relativistic quantum mechanics. (Lech Jakobczyk, ... Read more
