A Computational Introduction to Quantum Physics

The closing chapter aims to sum up some of the experiences, albeit in a rather overarching way. It is emphasized that, while the book spans rather widely, much of what has been presented is a bit like scratching the surface. Still, the tools developed should form a good basis for further work within quantum sciences. And, hopefully, the book has worked as a way of getting to know a bit of the quantum nature of the micro cosmos. In the preceding chapters, questions related to quantum foundations have, to a large extent, been evaded. Addressing the measurement problem and alternative interpretations attempts to mitigate this. A few topics are listed which are essential to quantum physics but are not properly addressed in this book. This includes quantum field theory, perturbation theory, density functional theory and quantum statistics. Finally, there are provide suggestions for further reading.
