Quantum mechanics Shankar corrected version ?

In summary, Shankar's corrected version of quantum mechanics is an improved version of the original theory that addresses mathematical inconsistencies and provides a clearer interpretation of quantum phenomena. Its main principles include the postulates of quantum mechanics, wave-particle duality, and the uncertainty principle. It differs from classical mechanics in its introduction of new concepts and principles. This corrected version also has various practical applications in fields such as technology and science.

Hi
I have just bought the hardback version of "Principles Of Quantum Mechanics" by Shankar online. The website stated that it is the corrected version from 2008 but the book has no mention of corrected version 2008 inside it.
Does anyone know if the hardback version states inside the book that it is the corrected version from 2008 ?
Thanks

Bump ! Does anyone have the corrected hardback version ? Does it state inside that it has been corrected ? I would like to make sure whether I have the right version or not.
Thanks
 

Related to Quantum mechanics Shankar corrected version ?

1. What is the difference between Shankar's corrected version of quantum mechanics and the original version?

Shankar's corrected version of quantum mechanics incorporates more accurate mathematical formulations and addresses some inconsistencies in the original version. It also includes new insights into the interpretation of quantum mechanics.

2. Why was Shankar's corrected version of quantum mechanics necessary?

Shankar's corrected version was necessary because the original version had some mathematical inconsistencies and lacked a clear interpretation for certain phenomena. The corrected version aims to provide a more complete and accurate understanding of quantum mechanics.

3. What are the main principles of Shankar's corrected version of quantum mechanics?

The main principles of Shankar's corrected version include the postulates of quantum mechanics, the wave-particle duality of matter, and the uncertainty principle. It also takes into account the concept of superposition and the role of measurement in quantum systems.

4. How does Shankar's corrected version of quantum mechanics differ from classical mechanics?

Shankar's corrected version of quantum mechanics differs from classical mechanics in several ways. It introduces the concept of wave-particle duality, where particles can also behave like waves, and the principle of superposition, where a particle can exist in multiple states simultaneously. It also involves probabilistic outcomes rather than deterministic ones in classical mechanics.

5. What practical applications does Shankar's corrected version of quantum mechanics have?

Shankar's corrected version of quantum mechanics has many practical applications, such as in the development of quantum computers, quantum cryptography, and quantum sensors. It also helps to explain the behavior of subatomic particles and has implications in fields such as chemistry and material science.
