The book covers the content of a typical higher undergraduate course of the theory of Quantum Mechanics. The focus is on the general principles of quantum mechanics and the clarification of its terminology: What exactly is a Hilbert space? What is a hermitean operator? A tensor product? An entangled state? In what sense does a wave function constitute a vector? A separate chapter discusses the many open questions regarding the interpretation of the postulates.

Jan-Markus Schwindt studied physics and mathematics in Heidelberg and Cambridge. He obtained his PhD in 2004 at the Institute of Theoretical Physics in Heidelberg. Subsequently, he spent four years doing research and teaching as a postdoc at the Universities of Mainz and Heidelberg. The focus of his research was on Cosmology and Quantum Gravity. During this time, he often acted as a tutor. Now, he brought his teaching experience into this book.

From the Contents: Part I Formalism and Interpretation.- Introduction: Nonlocal or Unreal?.- Formalism II: Infinite-Dimensional Hilbert Spaces.- Interpretation.- Part II A Single Scalar Particle in an External Potential.- Two-Dimensional Problems.
