Foundations of Quantum Mechanics

Inhalt

This lecture series addresses questions related to the foundations of Quantum Mechanics.

Topics include:

• Bell´s inequalities and Entanglement,
• Measurements,
• Decoherence and the quantum-to-classical crossover,
• Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics (including Bohm´s pilot wave and Nelson´s Stochastic Quantization),
• Extensions of Quantum Mechanics,
• Geometric phases (Aharonov-Bohm effect and all that),
• Particle statistics,
• Quantum electrodynamics (including vacuum effects, renormalization, and Stochastic Electrodynamics),
• Relativistic quantum mechanics.
