Mathematical Concepts of Quantum Mechanics
by S. Gustafson, I.M. Sigal
Publisher: University of Toronto 2001
Number of pages: 185
Description:
These lectures cover a one term course taken by a mixed group of students specializing either in mathematics or physics. We decided to select material which illustrates an interplay of ideas from various fields of mathematics, such as operator theory, probability, differential equations, and differential geometry.

An Introduction to Microlocal Analysisby Richard B. Melrose, Gunther Uhlmann - MIT
The origin of scattering theory is the study of quantum mechanical systems. The scattering theory for perturbations of the flat Laplacian is discussed with the approach via the solution of the Cauchy problem for the corresponding perturbed equation.

Symplectic Geometry of Quantum Noiseby Leonid Polterovich - arXiv
We discuss a quantum counterpart of certain constraints on Poisson brackets coming from 'hard' symplectic geometry. They can be interpreted in terms of the quantum noise of observables and their joint measurements in operational quantum mechanics.
