Bohmian mechanics the physics and mathematics of quantum theory pdf

Bohmian Mechanics: The Physics and Mathematics of Quantum Theory (Fundamental Theories of Physics) by Detlef Dürr (Author), Stefan Teufel (Author). Bohmian Mechanics were formulated in 1952 by David Bohm as a whole principle of quantum phenomena based on a particle picture. It was promoted some decades later by John S. Bell, who, intrigued by the manifestly nonlocal structure of the theory, was led to his famous Bell's inequalities. Experimental tests of the inequalities verified that nature is indeed nonlocal. Bohmian mechanics has since then prospered as the straightforward completion of quantum mechanics. This e book gives a systematic introduction to Bohmian mechanics and to the mathematical abstractions of quantum mechanics, which vary from the self-adjointness of the Schrödinger operator to scattering theory. 

It explains how the quantum formalism emerges when Boltzmann's ideas about statistical mechanics are utilized to Bohmian mechanics. The ebook is self-contained, mathematically rigorous and an excellent place to begin for a fundamental approach to quantum mechanics. It can appeal to students and newcomers to the sector, as well as to established scientists searching for a transparent exposition of the theory.

It is a crucial contribution to physical mathematics providing multiple insides into classical, particular relativistic, statistical and quantum mechanics of level particles. There are lots of causes to read it:

The authors have clearly thought deeply about physical mathematics. I used to be very happy with their ability to touch upon all related points together with impressive references to Parmenides and pre-Socratic philosophers! You do not typically see within the literature such a whole data about the roots and history of physics and its connection with foundational philosophical issues. I have undoubtedly appreciated learning so many historic issues from the book.
