A Pedestrian Introduction to the Mathematical Concepts of Quantum Physics
by Jan Govaerts
Publisher: arXiv 2008
Number of pages: 79
Description:
These notes offer a basic introduction to the primary mathematical concepts of quantum physics, and their physical significance, from the operator and Hilbert space point of view, highlighting more what are essentially the abstract algebraic aspects of quantization in contrast to more standard treatments of such issues, while also bridging towards the path integral formulation of quantization.

A Short Introduction to the Quantum Formalismby Francois David - arXiv
These notes present an introductory, but hopefully coherent, view of the main formalizations of quantum mechanics, of their interrelations and of their common physical underpinnings: causality, reversibility and locality/separability.
