Quantum mechanics

"This new edition of the unrivalled textbook introduces the fundamental concepts of quantum mechanics such as waves, particles and probability before explaining the postulates of quantum mechanics in detail. In the proven didactic manner, the textbook then covers the classical scope of introductory quantum mechanics, namely simple two-level systems, the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator, the quantized angular momentum and particles in a central potential. The entire book has been revised to take into account new developments in quantum mechanics curricula ..."--From publisher's website John Wiley & Sons, Inc, https://www.wiley.com/en-us/Quantum+Mechanics%2C+Volume+1%3A+Basic+Concepts%2C+Tools%2C+and+Applications%2C+2nd+Edition-p-9783527345533, viewed 11/23/21.

"Volume III extends the two volumes at a slightly higher level. It is based on the use of the creation and annihilation operator formalism (second quantization), which is commonly used in quantum field theory. ..."--Page iii, volume III.

"This new, third volume of Cohen-Tannoudji's groundbreaking textbook covers advanced topics of quantum mechanics such as uncorrelated and correlated identical particles, the quantum theory of the electromagnetic field, absorption, emission and scattering of photons by atoms, and quantum entanglement. Written in a didactically unrivalled manner, the textbook explains the fundamental concepts in seven chapters which are elaborated in accompanying complements that provide more detailed discussions, examples and applications. Completing the success story: the third and final volume of the quantum mechanics textbook written by 1997 Nobel laureate Claude Cohen-Tannoudji and his colleagues Bernard Diu and Franck Laloë ..."--Page [4] of cover, volume III.
