{"product_id":"9780486149189","title":"Stochastic Methods in Quantum Mechanics","description":"Practical developments in such fields as optical coherence, communication engineering, and laser technology have developed from the applications of stochastic methods. This introductory survey offers a broad view of some of the most useful stochastic methods and techniques in quantum physics, functional analysis, probability theory, communications, and electrical engineering. Starting with a history of quantum mechanics, it examines both the quantum logic approach and the operational approach, with explorations of random fields and quantum field theory.\u003cbr\u003eThe text assumes a basic knowledge of functional analysis; although some experience with probability theory and quantum mechanics is helpful, necessary ideas and results from these two disciplines are developed as needed. A selection of exercises follows each chapter, and proofs to most of the theorems are included. A comprehensive bibliography allows researchers and students to continue in the direction of their individual interests.","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47126635086064,"sku":"9780486149189","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780486149189_p0.jpg?v=1763708329","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780486149189","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
