Quantum theory, concepts and methods

Peres A.0-7923-0098-X

One of the rare books that give a deep and balanced account of Quantum Theory… Concepts are emphasized as much as techniques. Anyone who wants to understand (as opposed to merely use) quantum mechanics should at least have a brief look through such a book…
