Mathematical Methods in Quantum MechanicsWith Applications to Schrodinger Operators\nAuthor(s): Gerald Teschl\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: American Mathematical Society, United States\nImprint: American Mathematical Society\nISBN-13: 9781470417048, 978-1470417048\nSynopsis\nQuantum mechanics and the theory of operators on Hilbert space have been deeply linked since their beginnings in the early twentieth century. States of a quantum system correspond to certain elements of the configuration space and observables correspond to certain operators on the space. This book is a brief, but self-contained, introduction to the mathematical methods of quantum mechanics, with a view towards applications to Schrdinger operators.\n\nPart 1 of the book is a concise introduction to the spectral theory of unbounded operators. Only those topics that will be needed for later applications are covered. The spectral theorem is a central topic in this approach and is introduced at an early stage. Part 2 .
