"It is a tour de force that deserves to be treated as a definitive reference to the twentieth century's contribution to our understanding of quantum physics."
Europhysics news, Sept/Oct 2001

"It is a comprehensive exposition of many different aspects of modern quantum mechanics I have found this book to be a very good reference for all these topics it can serve as a good overview of many different aspects of quantum mechanics at the postgraduate or advanced undergraduate level."

The important changes quantum mechanics has undergone in recent years are reflected in this new approach for students. A strong narrative, and over 300 worked problems lead the student from experiment, through general principles of the theory, to modern applications. Stepping through results allows students to gain a thorough understanding. Starting with basic quantum mechanics, the book moves on to more advanced theory, followed by applications, perturbation methods and special fields, and ending with new developments in the field. Historical, mathematical, and philosophical boxes guide the...
