Linear operators in Hilbert space play a fundamental role in the formulation of quantum theory. This book offers a self-contained presentation of the most important tools and methods from Hilbert space theory, with particular focus on the spectral theory of self-adjoint operators. But it also goes further by describing some applications in quantum mechanics, in particular the analysis of Schrödinger operators and quantum scattering theory. The final two chapters are devoted to Mourre's conjugate operator method and some of its consequences for scattering theory. The text gives complete proofs and includes numerous exercises.
Based on a one-year course offered to advanced undergraduates, the text will be especially useful to students with some background in quantum mechanics, to whom it will provide a fundamental treatment of some of the basic ideas of applied Hilbert space theory; in addition, the book will prove invaluable to lecturers of basic and advanced quantum mechanics and to mathematical physicists in general, including those who work in spectral and scattering theory.

The Human brain is only 100,000 years old. Yet, this newly evolved organ endows us with unique creative capabilities beyond all other living creatures, including the gift to understand itself. As our very survival and success in life depends on utilizing our brain’s power, intense efforts have begun worldwide to understand the brain, reverse-engineer it and even augment its capacity.

Although solar thermal systems are technologically mature and cost effective, they have not yet been sufficiently used in building design, where they should be playing a greater role in the reduction of fossil-fuel consumption. One main hindrance to adoption is the generally low architectural design quality of the building integration of these thermal systems.

Conditions for travel have changed and are still changing the world — a world experiencing what John Urry, among others, calls the ‘mobility turn’. Since World War II we have been moving faster and going further — a fact that has profoundly changed our way of experiencing both the world and ourselves.
