Quantum Mechanics Bookclub

This is the homepage for the Quantum Mechanics bookclub at the Bernouilli Institute. The bookclub intends to stimulate discussions on the fundamental and mathematical structure of quantum mechanics. It is aimed at PhD and master's students of mathematics and theoretical physics. No prior knowledge of quantum mechanics is required.

We meet biweekly on Wednesdays at 16:00 (alternated with the basic notions seminar).

We will mostly follow the book Quantum Mechanics for Mathematicians by Leon A. Takhtajan (with a strong mathematical flavour), but also the book Quantum Mechanics I by A. Galindo and P. Pascual (more physics oriented). Although feel free to use the reference you like the most!

Organisers: Riccardo Bonetto and Jorge Becerra.
