Quantum Theory, Groups and Representations: An Introduction
by Peter Woit
Publisher: Columbia University 2014
Number of pages: 396
Description:
These notes cover the basics of quantum mechanics, from a point of view emphasizing the role of unitary representations of Lie groups in the foundations of the subject. The approach to this material is simultaneously rather advanced, using crucially some fundamental mathematical structures normally only discussed in graduate mathematics courses, while at the same time trying to do this in as elementary terms as possible.

Geometry of Quantum Mechanicsby Ingemar Bengtsson - Stockholms universitet, Fysikum
These are the lecture notes from a graduate course in the geometry of quantum mechanics. The idea was to introduce the mathematics in its own right, but not to introduce anything that is not directly relevant to the subject.

An Introduction to Microlocal Analysisby Richard B. Melrose, Gunther Uhlmann - MIT
The origin of scattering theory is the study of quantum mechanical systems. The scattering theory for perturbations of the flat Laplacian is discussed with the approach via the solution of the Cauchy problem for the corresponding perturbed equation.

Homological Tools for the Quantum Mechanicby 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.
