A Pedestrian Introduction to the Mathematical Concepts of Quantum Physics
by Jan Govaerts
Publisher: arXiv 2008
Number of pages: 79
Description:
These notes offer a basic introduction to the primary mathematical concepts of quantum physics, and their physical significance, from the operator and Hilbert space point of view, highlighting more what are essentially the abstract algebraic aspects of quantization in contrast to more standard treatments of such issues, while also bridging towards the path integral formulation of quantization.

Using Mathematica for Quantum Mechanics: A Student's Manual
by Roman Schmied - arXiv.org
This book is an attempt to help students transform all of the concepts of quantum mechanics into concrete computer representations, which can be analyzed and understood at a deeper level than what is possible with more abstract representations.

Homological Tools for the Quantum Mechanic
by Tom Mainiero - arXiv.org
This paper is an introduction to work motivated by the question 'can multipartite entanglement be detected by homological algebra?' We introduce cochain complexes associated to multipartite density states whose cohomology detects factorizability.

Symplectic Geometry of Quantum Noise
by Leonid Polterovich - arXiv
We discuss a quantum counterpart of certain constraints on Poisson brackets coming from 'hard' symplectic geometry. They can be interpreted in terms of the quantum noise of observables and their joint measurements in operational quantum mechanics.
