Beginning students of quantum mechanics frequently experience difficulties separating essential underlying principles from the specific examples to which these principles have been historically applied. Nobel-Prize-winner Claude Cohen-Tannoudji and his colleagues have written this book to eliminate precisely these difficulties. Fourteen chapters provide a clarity of organization, careful attention to pedagogical details, and a wealth of topics and examples which make this work a textbook as well as a timeless reference, allowing to tailor courses to meet students' specific needs.
Each chapter starts with a clear exposition of the problem which is then treated, and logically develops the physical and mathematical concept. These chapters emphasize the underlying principles of the material, undiluted by extensive references to applications and practical examples which are put into complementary sections. The book begins with a qualitative introduction to quantum mechanical ideas using simple optical analogies and continues with a systematic and thorough presentation of the mathematical tools and postulates of quantum mechanics as well as a discussion of their physical content. Applications follow, starting with the simplest ones like e.g. the harmonic oscillator, and becoming gradually more complicated (the hydrogen atom, approximation methods, etc.). The complementary sections each expand this basic knowledge, supplying a wide range of applications and related topics as well as detailed expositions of a large number of special problems and more advanced topics, integrated as an essential portion of the text.
poor packaging, ok book
| Customer Rating: | I was disappointed with the packaging they sent the book in. It was only wrapped in paper on two ends, and the paper had ripped open so the book was barely in its package by the time it showed up in my mailbox. Somehow, the book was still in decent shape despite its packaging.
The book itself is highly technical, not a very easy read, but very thorough in dealing with the many facets of quantum mechanics. |
quantum mechanics 2 Vol. set
| Customer Rating: | I chose not to rate this product It was received in like used condition even though it was wrapped in plastic. it was litterally crammed into packaging that was barely big enough to hold it. that packaging was simple a brown envelope when I received the book there were some gouges in the packaging and the book had gouges in the edges of it that extended into the chapters of the book itself.
I am very dissatisfied with this product and will avoid amazon in the future. |
Quantum Mechanics, Volume 1 by B. Dui, Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, Bernard Diu
| Customer Rating: | | The service was very good and swift. The book was in excellent condition. Thank you. |
THE Quantum Mechanics Reference
| Customer Rating: | If you're looking for a one-stop reference for your physics library, this is it. Complements ANY textbook, in fact it stands on its own better than any other quantum mechanics textbook that I've used so far (Including Sakurai, Bransden-Joachain, Gasiorowizc, Griffiths). The notation is convenient and easy, worked out "compliments" show you how to apply concepts and build your problem solving skills. Even as just a casual read on subjects you may not have been exposed to yet/ever, this text is great. I had this text recommended to me by basically every grad student and professor I've talked to, and I can now recommend it myself.
That said, many complaints I've read here have a common thread. This is not meant (at least it shouldn't be meant) as an undergraduate text. It definitely assumes at least a moderate understanding of underlying principles, although you don't have to be a genius either. I would never recommend this to an undergraduate student until you have been exposed to at least 2 semesters of the introductory stuff. Period.
Buy this book if you're looking for a one-stop quantum mechanics reference, for your graduate studies. |
The solar-system-wide reference for Quantum Mechanics
| Customer Rating: | Almost no words needs to be said about this masterwork.
And rare are serious students of quantum mechanics who could really afford to ignore it.
Several important techniques and recent developments are omitted, but having grasped the material presented in these two volumes, learning further about quantum mechanics will prove astonishingly straightforward.
A caution remark is in order, though : these books don't really suit to self-study, due to their sometimes rather lengthy, verbose exposition, which could well quickly fade away an initially strong motivation for studying quantum mechanics, if not bolstered by a teacher's or fellow student's incentives.
