  • Summary

    Chapter 3 takes a step beyond textbook measurements and introduces generalized measurements, beginning with the motivating experiment of an optical polarization measurement with a calcite crystal. In this case, wavefunction collapse is imperfect, and we will discuss how to describe and predict the statistics of outcomes and how to assign postmeasurement states. This topic is closely related to Bayesian probability theory, and we discussed a “Quantum Bayes Rule.”

  • Summary

    This first chapter gives an introduction to the book and guides the reader through much of the history of the field of quantum mechanics, focusing on what we view as the most important episodes in the field. We discuss the essential properties of quantum mechanics and how they have been reimagined in the decades that followed the era of the founders.
