Quantum Consistent Quantum Theory by Griffiths

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on Robert B. Griffiths' book "Consistent Quantum Theory," which presents an alternative perspective on quantum mechanics. The author finds that the text clarifies several conceptual issues, particularly challenging the necessity of 'wavefunction collapse' and questioning the reasoning behind the notion of non-locality in quantum mechanics. The book proposes a formalism that the author finds more satisfying than the traditional Copenhagen interpretation. The author expresses curiosity about the lack of widespread teaching of these ideas in quantum mechanics education, inviting others to share their thoughts on this topic.

I am in the middle of reading this text, and have found that it has cleared up a number of conceptual issues for me. The claim is that there is no need to refer to 'wavefunction collapse', and that the claim that quantum mechanics is non-local is based on incorrect reasoning. Since this formalism seems so much more satisfying than the Copenhagen interpretation, I wonder why it isn't more widely taught. What do others think?

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
