AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on seeking advanced resources for a quantum mechanics course that covers complex topics such as Pauli spin matrices, quantum computer initialization, density matrices, and monopole vector potentials. The original poster finds existing texts insufficient for their needs and requests recommendations for more detailed books. A suggested resource is highlighted, which includes valuable sections on quantum optics, measurement, information, computation, and density matrices, indicating it may be beneficial for those studying advanced quantum mechanics concepts.

hi there,

I have an advanced QM course I am doing now, a lot of pauli spin matrix identitys, quantum computer initalisation( rotations of 3 spin 1/2 states ), density matrices, two level systems, persistent currents and monopole vector potentials...

The math is beyond me, i have griffiths, diracs and a few intro books to QM none of which go into enough detail in these areas. Any suggestions of a book (or books) that could help?

Any suggestions would be appriciated!

cheers

Thread '"WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
