Professor Freericks authors new quantum textbook

Quantum Mechanics Done Right: The shortest path from novice to researcher, by James K. Freericks, has been published by Springer Nature. The book introduces a representation-independent paradigm for solving quantum problems and covers many advanced topics not seen in most quantum textbooks.

Rather than taking just a descriptive approach, or the conventional higher-math approach, this book develops rigorous quantum mechanics beginning at the level of a nonscientist. It is appropriate for advanced high-school students, lifelong learners, citizen scientists, undergraduate students, graduate students, and even current practitioners, engaging a wide group of topics that require no math beyond high-school level. It will also inspire college and high school instructors looking for new ways to introduce quantum ideas without advanced math. It provides the formal training needed for future work in quantum science and technology.

The book is open access and free to download.
