Publisher's Synopsis
These notes present a rigorous mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics based on the algebraic framework of observables and states. The underlying mathematics is that of topological algebras, locally convex spaces and distribution theory.;Amongst the topics considered is Dirac's bra and ket formalism. These notes also contain a discussion of quantum measurement theory, using the Copenhagen interpretation, but taking into account the algebraic structure and the phenomenon of continous spectra of observables.
