It is not an encyclopaedia: encyclopaedias flatter completeness and punish understanding. Nor is it a
compendium of recipes for examination day, a genre whose usefulness is real, brief, and fatal to curiosity. It
is, rather, an argument — a single, extended argument that begins with a stove that glowed the wrong colour
and ends, twenty-seven chapters later, with machines that compute upon superpositions and clocks that lose
a second in the lifetime of the universe.
The book is complete in a single volume. It carries the subject from its experimental origins to the
frontiers of quantum information, optics, thermodynamics and technology, across six Parts and twentyseven
chapters. Part I lays the mathematical and physical foundations; Part II erects non-relativistic
quantum mechanics upon them; Part III treats approximation methods and scattering; Part IV extends the
theory to symmetry, path integrals and relativity; Part V develops quantum statistical mechanics and manybody
physics; and Part VI carries the whole into quantum information, computation, optics, open systems,
thermodynamics, and the applications of the quantum in nature and technology. A set of reference
appendices closes the book.
The method throughout is dialectical, in the plain sense of that abused word. Each concept is introduced as a
thesis, confronted with the difficulty or the experiment that refuses it — the antithesis — and resolved into a
structure that preserves what was right in both. This is not a stylistic ornament; it is how the subject actually
developed, and, more importantly, it is how the subject is actually understood. Nobody ever believed
quantum mechanics because it was announced. One believes it because every alternative has been given a fair
trial and has perished honourably in court.
Two promises govern the mathematics. First, nothing falls from the sky: every equation is derived from
stated premises, and where a derivation is deferred to a later chapter, the deferral is confessed in writing.
Second, no algebraic step is skipped on the grounds that the reader could supply it. The reader could; the
reader should not have to. Worked examples are solved completely, including the exact keystroke sequences
for the TI-84 Plus CE calculator; exercises with full solutions close every chapter.
A request. A book of this length, prepared by a single hand, will contain errors despite every care taken
against them. I would be very glad to receive the report of any mistake, ambiguity or obscurity the reader
encounters — typographical, mathematical or conceptual. Every such correction will be acknowledged and
folded into subsequent printings. Whatever errors remain are my own, exclusively, and no reader who
troubles to point one out will find the courtesy unwelcome. Corrections may be sent to me directly at
richard@scottishsciencesociety.org.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
