The average rating for The Structure and Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics based on 2 reviews is 5 stars.

Review # 1 was written on 2019-05-06 00:00:00 Jim White This book gave me a handle on the actual mechanics of QM like none other. Though it does not require a graduate degree in advanced mathematics, some amount of mathematical sophistication is required. The concepts are clearly explained; you just need to be able to follow along. I return to it often when I feel the need to review my vector mechanics.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-12-04 00:00:00 Gary Eschbacher This book talks about the mysteries of quantum mechanics. It emphasizes especially on the world view that the quantum mechanics brought to us. The book gives several examples of the philosophical explanation of the weirdnesses of quantum mechanics. The good part of the book is that it includes several interviews with famous physicists who worked within quantum mechanics and talked about their important works related to it. This is actually the major part of the book and it gives the reader a great insight to the topic from the most worthy people. The bad part of the book is that it is not easy to understand both due to the complexity of the topic and due to the oversimplified language. The book is full of arguments that do not get explaned properly. Most of them are considered as "it is easy to see" but they are not even for an engineering physics student like me. Overall, I recommand this book if you are interested in the philosophical problem rised by the quantum mechanics or want to hear from some of the greatest quantum mechanics physicists in our time.
