It is usually assumed that students are unfamiliar with Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations of classical mechanics and the role played by probability. As a result, quantum physics is typically introduced using heuristic arguments, obscuring synergies with classical mechanics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book takes an alternative approach by leveraging classical analytical mechanics to facilitate a natural transition to quantum physics. By doing so, a solid foundation for understanding quantum phenomena is provided. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey features of this textbook include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMathematics and Classical Analytical Mechanics: The necessary mathematical background and classical analytical mechanics are introduced gradually, allowing readers to focus on one conceptual challenge at a time.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDeductive Approach: Quantum mechanics is presented on the firm foundation of classical analytical mechanics, ensuring a logical progression of concepts.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePedagogical Features: This book includes helpful notes, worked examples, problems, computational challenges, and problem-solving approaches to enhance understanding.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eComprehensive Coverage: Including advanced topics such as open quantum systems, phase-space methods, and computational methods for quantum physics including good programming practice and code design.
