A Strict Epistemic Approach to Physics
by Per Östborn
Publisher: arXiv 2016
Number of pages: 543
Description:
Here, we derive the formalism of QM from well-motivated epistemic principles. A key assumption is that in a proper physical theory, the introduction of entities or distinctions that are unknowable in principle is in conflict with the theory.

Lectures on the Quantum Hall Effectby David Tong - University of Cambridge
These lectures describe the basic theoretical structures underlying the quantum Hall effect. The focus is on the interplay between microscopic wavefunctions, long-distance effective Chern-Simons theories, and the modes which live on the boundary.

Quantum Dissipative Systemsby F. Guinea, E. Bascones, M.J. Calderon
An interesting topic of quantum mechanics is the study of open quantum systems. By it, we mean a simple quantum system, described by one or a few degrees of freedom, interacting with a background characterized by a continuum of excitations.
