Claremont Topology Seminar: Robert Cass (CMC)
October 27 @ 4:15 pm - 5:15 pm
Speaker: Robert Cass (CMC)
Title: An introduction to quantum mechanics
Abstract: We will give an introduction to quantum mechanics from a mathematical perspective. We will start with a quick survey of classical Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics. Then we will explain the basic axioms of quantum mechanics, such as how observables and measurable quantities are encoded by operators on Hilbert spaces and their eigenvalues. We will focus on the example of a single particle in one dimension, where the Hilbert space is L^2(R).
