Название: Geometry of Quantum Theory

Аннотация:
As laid down by Dirac in his great classic [1], the principle of superposition of states is the fundamental concept on which the quantum theory of atomic systems is to be erected. Dirac's development of quantum mechanics on an axiomatic basis is undoubtedly in keeping with the greatest traditions of the physical sciences. The scope and power of this principle can be recognized at once if one recalls that it survived virtually unmodified throughout the subsequent transition to a relativistic view of the atomic world. It must be pointed out, however, that the precise mathematical nature of the superposition principle was only implicit in the discussions of Dirac; we are indebted to John von Neumann for explicit formulation.
