Reviews for Confinement, Duality, and Non-Perturbative Aspects of QCD

The average rating for Confinement, Duality, and Non-Perturbative Aspects of QCD based on 2 reviews is 3 stars.

Review # 1 was written on 2016-06-25 00:00:00 Doug Dobrava This is a natural continuation from introductory "wave mechanics" textbooks like Griffiths to remedy the impression that quantum theory is nothing more than a collection of calculation tools. Nice discussions on abstract mathematical axioms of quantum mechanics and the classical realist preconception, the problem it faces going into quantum mechanics, and the anti-realist position's own problem.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-06-25 00:00:00 Yutaka Maeda This book provides a very comprehensive and modern mathematical approach to the very foundations of quantum theory. I think its entire discussions is to provide a deep understanding between pragmatic or instrumentalist interpretation and realist interpretation. Well, Chris Isham is one of the most great authority in the field of quantum gravity and foundationalsmof quantum mechanics But it is worth to note that to read this book, the readers may require some preleminaries reading material such as the theory of vector space, theory of Hilberts space (or functional analysis) and perhpas should graps the conceptual understanding from other quantum physics textbook like Griffiths or, as I prefer, Quantum Theory by David Bohm, or else. It is worth to read this book to those who want to further their research in quantum foundations!
