Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics

174 Views Asked by At

As the title says, I am interested in a textbook/reference that deals exclusively with the mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics, without (or, with minimal) physics involved.

As an example on what I am looking for, is a text in the flavor of (but more extensive than) the 2nd chapter of Nielsen & Chuang's "Quantum Computation and Quantum Information" which contains math formalism without any physics stuff involved.

Thanks

I am not sure how to do your "flavor" comparison for you, but you seem to be asking for "more but rigorous". In your shoes, I'd start from a modern bare minimum text such as

  • Brian Hall's Quantum Theory for Mathematicians (Graduate Texts in Mathematics, 267) ; (Springer; 2013 edition ISBN-13: 978-1461471158)

It is in today's language, covers the bases and the bare rigorous minimum you appear interested in, and eschews the alternate universe that absorbs mathematical physicists' and functional analysts' attention.
