Books detailing Bell's inequality derivation

Click For Summary
Recommended books for understanding the derivation of Bell's inequality in quantum mechanics include J. S. Bell's "Speakable and Unspeakable in Quantum Mechanics" and L. E. Ballentine's "Quantum Mechanics: A Modern Development." Additionally, the online resource "Quantum Theory: Concepts and Methods" by Peres is suggested for those without access to physical books. Various online derivations are also available, with Isham's approach highlighted as particularly effective. These resources provide valuable insights into the mathematical foundations of Bell's inequalities.

Hi

I was just wondering if anyone can recommend me a book (preferably available as an ebook) which details the derivation of the QM version of the inequality.

I've been studying the relevant maths and now I'm going to finally sit down and do the derivation. I can go through it alone but having a guide/reference would be nice!

I recommend the following books that, among other things, contain a derivation of Bell inequalities:
1. J. S. Bell, Speakable and Unspeakable in Quantum Mechanics (Cambridge, 1987).
2. L. E. Ballentine, Quantum Mechanics: A Modern Development (World Scientific Publishing, 2000).
I recommend these books for many other reasons as well.
 
Demystifier gives some great books as reference. If you don't have access to those, you might also try this which is available online (Peres, 2002):

There are some other derivations online that are not part of books. Let me know if you are interested in some. There are a lot of different approaches that get you to a similar spot.
 
I like Isham's derivation: 215, 216. (That's a very good book by the way, so you should consider getting it).
 
Time reversal invariant Hamiltonians must satisfy ##[H,\Theta]=0## where ##\Theta## is time reversal operator. However, in some texts (for example see Many-body Quantum Theory in Condensed Matter Physics an introduction, HENRIK BRUUS and KARSTEN FLENSBERG, Corrected version: 14 January 2016, section 7.1.4) the time reversal invariant condition is introduced as ##H=H^*##. How these two conditions are identical?
