Quantum Mechanics

This book proposes a rigorous formalization of modern quantum mechanics. Going beyond the scope of conventional introductory textbooks, it develops the essential tools of mathematical physics, from Hilbert spaces to advanced spectral theory, including topology and geometry.

This treatise is intended for readers who seek, beyond computational practice, to understand the logical necessity and foundation of the structures in use. The text addresses interpretational issues directly, with a detailed analysis of the measurement problem and decoherence, while also presenting alternative theories and their experimental constraints.

Intended for master's students, doctoral students, and researchers, it aims at a comprehensive command of the theory, uniting technical rigor with conceptual depth.
