It is usually assumed that students are unfamiliar with Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations of classical mechanics and the role played by probability. As a result, quantum physics is typically introduced using heuristic arguments, obscuring synergies with classical mechanics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book takes an alternative approach by leveraging classical analytical mechanics to facilitate a natural transition to quantum physics. By doing so, it provides a solid foundation for understanding quantum phenomena.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKey features of this textbook include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMathematics and Classical Analytical Mechanics:\u003c\/strong\u003e The necessary mathematical background and classical analytical mechanics are introduced gradually, allowing readers to focus on one conceptual challenge at a time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeductive Approach:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quantum mechanics is presented on the firm foundation of classical analytical mechanics, ensuring a logical progression of concepts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePedagogical Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e This book includes helpful notes, worked examples, problems, computational challenges, and problem-solving approaches to enhance understanding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComprehensive Coverage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Including advanced topics such as open quantum systems, phase-space methods, and computational methods for quantum physics including good programming practice and code design.
