⭐Any student of QM would do well to read Schiff’s book, third edition, His explanations are relatively brief, but profound and to the point. He shows a deep understanding of his subject.

⭐Great book, a classic.

⭐It’s a great Quantum Mechanics book… Also, awesome service.

⭐This was my first real Quantum Mechanics book (I had previously read Volume III of the Feynman’s Lectures on Physics). I discovered it after trying to read Relativistic Quantum Mechanics, Bjorken & Drell, and their reference to Schiff’s book for a Quantum Mechanics reference. The book is excellent, but has one flaw – it is not very well organized – has some very long chapters, and frequently it is difficult to find a particular calculation especially in the long perturbation chapters. Today I might recommend other more modern QM books, such as Shankar or Ballentine, and especially Weinberg’s Lectures on Quantum Mechanics for a second go through.

⭐It offers explanations that are not found in most books. When going through this, you gain intuition due to these explanations and if you are a bit familiar with multivariable calculus, you will also learn how to do a big part of introductory quantum mechanics using multivariable calculus and not only single variable. In anyway, I think that this is a superb book that is overlooked due to the likes of books like Griffiths’. Other books like Shankar’s and Griffith’s books are great too, and I think that this is pedagogically on par with them.

⭐Schiff is the only author to report, in the third edition of his book, on the strange character of the Klein-Gordon equation to support binding of order mc**2 for a unit-strength Coulomb potential. He uses a point-nucleus model of course and concludes that the state is not physical owing to the finite size of the proton. Nevertheless the principle is established that it is possible for mc**2 binding to exist not due to the strength of the attractive potential but due to the nature of relativistic motion. This principle weakens the conclusion that a strong force exists in nature, which is based on the interpretation of the observation of strong binding using Schroedinger or standard Dirac theory. Standard Dirac theory uses a Schroedinger temporally harmonic solution to separate space and time variables, a separation which is not confirmed by solving the time-dependent Dirac equation exactly without Dirac’s temporally harmonic assumption. Space-time inseparability in Dirac’s equation is manifest in Zitterbewegung behavior. The general – sometimes called the 4-space – solution of Dirac’s equation, which exhibits Zitterbewegung, is rejected as unphysical by the theoretical physics community even though it is predicted by the exact solution.

⭐.####[…]If anyone is just interested in simply reading this book, as apposed to purchasing a hardcopy, it is also available online for download.It is available in several formats include the KINDLE format.[…]####PBS NOVA references Leonard I Schiff as expanding and making noted progress with Einstein’s theories.[…]#####Leonard Schiff and Gravity Probe B.[…]

⭐When I studied quantum mechanics I found this to be a much better book than Merzbacher. It is short and to the point without leaving out too much. Just the essentials. However, I do believe there are better books out there today and there are gaps in the treatment in this book. For instance it is not as strong on the Dirac representation as it should be. I have come to the realization that it is best if the various representations are presented in depth in the first quantum mechanics course rather that being scattered thoughout graduate study or not even covered. Nevertheless, when I wanted a good solid treatment of a subject that was vague or glossed over in the other books this is where I came. Next was the literature.

⭐Zubal Books provides my a great classical 1955th quantum mechanics book. They keep the delivery deadline. The packing is apropiate. This is one of the few books that dedicates a chapter to the Heisenberg’s matrix formulation of quantum mechanics.Thanks.!!
