Embarking on a journey into the realm of quantum mechanics can be a daunting task for anyone. Its puzzling mathematics and bewildering predictions often leave individuals feeling confused and disheartened. But what if there was a different approach—one aimed to cultivate an understanding of quantum mechanics from its very foundations?
Embarking on a journey into the realm of quantum mechanics can be a daunting task for anyone. Its puzzling mathematics and bewildering predictions often leave individuals feeling confused and disheartened. But what if there was a different approach — one aimed to cultivate an understanding of quantum mechanics from its very foundations? This is the ambition of this book. Rather than treating quantum mechanics as an inception, the author takes a Socratic perspective, tracing the genesis of its key ideas back to the well-established roots of classical mechanics. The works of Lagrange, Hamilton, and Poisson become guiding lights, illuminating the path towards comprehension. Through a colloquial yet pedagogical narrative, the book delves into the elements of classical mechanics, building a solid framework of familiarity that paves the way for comprehending quantum mechanics.

Designed as a companion for undergraduates undertaking quantum mechanics modules in physics or chemistry, this book serves as an invaluable support. It equips learners with the essential knowledge necessary to grasp the foundations of quantum mechanics. As such, it proves equally beneficial for MSc and PhD scholars, and post-doctoral researchers. Its colloquial tone captivates the curiosity of any reader eager to delve into the mysteries of this enthralling field.

Giuseppe Pileio is currently an Associate Professor of Physical Chemistry at the School of Chemistry of the University of Southampton, UK, where he teaches Physical Chemistry, Quantum Mechanics, Molecular Spectroscopy and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. At the University of Southampton, Giuseppe also run a research group that specializes in developing theory, simulations, and methodology in the field of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. Giuseppe is co-author of more than 70 scientific papers published in peer-reviewed journals, and has already published a University Textbook on the dynamics of nuclear spins.
