Introduction to Quantum Mechanics

This book is a classic and widely-used textbook intended for a junior or senior-level undergraduate course in quantum mechanics. It is highly regarded for its clear and accessible writing style, which breaks down a complex subject with an informal and engaging tone.

The primary goal of the book is to teach students how to do quantum mechanics. It first provides a solid grounding in the theory and formalism (Part I) and then moves on to practical approximation methods and applications (Part II).

Key Features of the 3rd Edition

This third edition, which adds co-author Darrell F. Schroeter, introduces several significant updates and new content:

• New Chapter on Symmetries: A completely new chapter on symmetries and conservation laws has been added.
• Updated Content: It features new applications to solid state physics and a consolidated, improved treatment of time-dependent potentials.
• More Problems: The edition includes new problems and examples to help students solidify their understanding.
• Computational Physics: It adds more numerical problems designed to be solved on a computer, reflecting the growing importance of computational methods in physics.
• Improved Explanations: Various explanations throughout the book have been revised and clarified based on years of feedback.
