AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the search for books specifically tailored for mathematicians studying quantum mechanics. Participants mention notable texts such as von Neumann's and Dirac's works as foundational. Recommendations include "Quantum Mechanics and the Particles of Nature: An Outline for Mathematicians" by Anthony Sudbery and "Quantum Field Theory for Mathematicians" by Robin Ticciati. A link to a repository of physics resources is provided, although there is some confusion regarding its accessibility. Overall, the conversation highlights the need for resources that bridge the gap between mathematics and quantum mechanics.

Does anyone know of a "quantum mechanics for mathematician" book?

I've seen "E&M for mathematicians" and "Relativity (special and general) for mathematician" books and like those, but I saw no QM ones.

Online or paper, doesn't matter. Does one exists?

Thanks
 
Physics news on Phys.org
von Neumann's text would be the one to look at, so would Diracs' to start.
 
Did you try the links repository right here on PF?

There's an entry "Modern Physics for Mathematicians".

Quantum Mechanics and the Particles of Nature: An Outline for Mathematicians by Anthony Sudbery.

Quantum Field Theory for Mathematicians by Robin Ticciati.

Too tired to say more right now; I'll try and write a bit more about these books tomorrow.
 
von Neumann looks nice judging from the table of content.

Unfortunately Hurkyl, the link is dead. :(

Thanks GJ, I add those to my list of books to check out!
 
Hurkyl's link links to the Links section of PF. Go to the menu on top ->Links->Physics Resources->Quantum Mechanics.

Btw, the link is not dead. :)
 
For the following four books, has anyone used them in a course or for self study?

This is part 2 of my thread Collection of Free Online Math Books and Lecture Notes Here, we will consider physics and mathematical methods for physics resources. Now, this is a work in progress. Please feel free comment regarding items you want to be included, or if a link is broken etc. Note: I will not post links to other collections, each link will point you to a single item. :book:📚📒 [FONT=trebuchet ms]Introductory college/university physics College Physics, Openstax...
