• I had the fortune to work with Ulrich Mohrhoff (Sri Aurobindo International Center of Education (SAICE), Pondicherry, India Link for the second edition of his book, ‘The World According to Quantum Mechanics’ published by World Scientific, Singapore. This was a great learning exercise for me.
    • Here is a link to the book on the publisher’s website: Link
    • An E-copy can be accessed from IIT-Madras Library: Link
    • This is a little description of the book:
    • Apart from providing a lucid introduction to the mathematical formalism and conceptual foundations of quantum mechanics, we explain why the laws of physics have the form that they do. In addition, we present a new and unique look at the quantum world, steering clear of two common errors: the error of the ψ-ontologists, who reify a calculational tool; and the error of the anti-realists, for whom physical theories are simply devices for expressing regularities among observations.

      The new edition of this acclaimed text adds around 200 pages on a variety of topics, such as how the founders sought to make sense of quantum mechanics, Kant's theory of science, QBism, Everettian quantum mechanics, de Broglie–Bohm theory, environmental decoherence, contextuality, nonlocality, and the paradox of subjectivity — the curious fact that the world seems to exist twice, once for us, in our minds, and once by itself, independently of us.
