Quantum Mechanics: A Modern Development
Abstract
Although there are many textbooks that deal with the formal apparatus of quantum mechanics (QM) and its application to standard problems, none take into account the developments in the foundations of the subject which have taken place in the last few decades. There are specialized treatises on various aspects of the foundations of QM, but none that integrate those topics with the standard material. This book aims to remove that unfortunate dichotomy, which has divorced the practical aspects of the subject from the interpretation and broader implications of the theory.The book is intended primarily as a graduate level textbook, but it will also be of interest to physicists and philosophers who study the foundations of QM. Parts of it could be used by senior undergraduates too.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
In the citing paper
“To ensure the compatibility of non-relativistic quantum mechanics with EP, one generally invokes a superselection rule [15], originally proposed by Bargmann [16], which prevents a quantum particle from being found in superposition states of different masses.”

In the citing paper
“Bargmann's superselection rule ∆ m = m 2 -m 1 = 0 is thus viewed as a necessary requirement to avoid EP violation [15, 16].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
