Entropy and the Quantum: Arizona School of Analysis With Applications March 16-20, 2009 University of Arizona

This volume collects lecture notes from a school conducted at the U. of Arizona in March 2009 that introduced young mathematicians to aspects of quantum mechanics and to areas of mathematics inspired by quantum mechanics. The lecture notes include a general introduction to the mathematics of quantum mechanics, discussion of analytical inequalities, description of applications to the Shandrasekhar limit of stellar masses, and discussion of recent developments in quantum information theory that are relevant to mathematics.
