Quantum Theory from First Principles: An Informational Approach

Quantum mechanics is notoriously hard to understand. The math behind it is well understood, but there are still fierce debates on what conceptually quantum theory really means. Since its inception, physicists have tried to interpret quantum mechanics in different ways. But it isn't until recently that researchers were able to reconstruct quantum mechanics from mathematical, physical and operational principles. The principles are often hard to relate to. Nonetheless, because they are rigorous and do not have quantum mechanics as a starting point, they are a step up from interpretations of quantum mechanics.This book reconstructs quantum mechanics from 6 clear operational principles, with only 1 principle setting quantum mechanics apart from classical theory.I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Most books on quantum mechanics give you a better understanding of its formalism, but not of what quantum theory really means. This is the first book I've read that has genuinely improved my understanding of quantum theory (even if I am still not completely at ease with quantum mechanics).I highly recommend this book!

All very well. The book and the send.

Muy sorprendente hasta para un físico.El nivel es muy alto. Lejos del alcance de casi todos nosotros. Tardaré una reencarnación completa en leerlo pero valdrá la pena.
