Classical physics on a finite phase space

Landsman, Klaas

Pages: 23 –38

[Throughout this chapter, X is a finite set, playing the role of the configuration space of some physical system, or, equivalently (as we shall see), of its pure state space (in the continuous case, X will be the phase space rather than the configuration space). One should not frown upon finite...

Quantum mechanics on a finite-dimensional Hilbert space

Landsman, Klaas

Pages: 39 –81

[The quantum analogue of a finite set X (in its role as a configuration space in classical mechanics) is the finite-dimensional Hilbert space \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy}...

Classical physics on a general phase space

Landsman, Klaas

Pages: 83 –101

[Passing from finite phase spaces X to infinite ones yields many fascinating new phenomena, some of which even seem genuinely “emergent” in not having any finite dimensional shadow, approximate or otherwise. Nonetheless, practically all results in the previous chapter remain valid, typically...

Quantum physics on a general Hilbert space

Landsman, Klaas

Pages: 103 –123

[In this chapter we generalize the results of Chapter 2 to infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. So let H be a Hilbert space and let B(H) be the set of all bounded operators on H. Here a notable point is that linear operators on finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces are automatically bounded, whereas...

Symmetry in quantum mechanics

Landsman, Klaas

Pages: 125 –188

[Roughly speaking, a symmetry of some mathematical object is an invertible transformation that leaves all relevant structure as it is. Thus a symmetry of a set is just a bijection (as sets have no further structure, whence invertibility is the only demand on a symmetry), a symmetry of a...

Classical models of quantum mechanics

Landsman, Klaas

Pages: 191 –245

[This chapter gives an introduction to a chain of results attempting to exclude deeper layers underneath quantum mechanics that restore some form of classical physics: ‘[Such results] more or less illustrate the ways along which some opponents might hope to escape Bohr’s reasonings and von...

Limits: Small \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\hbar $$\end{document}

Landsman, Klaas

Pages: 247 –291

[Limits are essential to the asymptotic Bohrification program. It was recognized at an early stage in the development of quantum mechanics that the limit \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb}...

Limits: large N

Landsman, Klaas

Pages: 293 –331

Symmetry in algebraic quantum theory

Landsman, Klaas

Pages: 333 –366

[In §3.9 we defined symmetries of classical physics as symmetries of either Poisson manifolds or Poisson algebras; these notions are equivalent.]
Available

Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking

Landsman, Klaas

Pages: 367 –433

[As we shall see, the undeniable natural phenomenon of spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) seems to indicate a serious mismatch between theory and reality. This mismatch is well expressed by what is sometimes called Earman’s Principle: ‘While idealizations are useful and, perhaps, even essential...
