2 Formulation of quantum systems

In this chapter, we give a concise and yet rigorous mathematical formulation of a generic infinite-dimensional quantum system based on the following set of postulates originated from von Neumann [172] (see also Chang [22], [23], [24]). These postulates are commonly accepted by quantum probabilists and quantum physicists alike as the starting point for a systematic study of quantum systems.

Postulate 1.

With every quantum system, there is associated a separable complex Hilbert space $H$ on which a $C∗$ or von Neumann algebras of linear operators $A$ is defined. This complex Hilbert space $H$ is called in physics terminology the space of states. The Hilbert space of a composite quantum system can be represented as ...

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
