Quantum Mechanics, Volume 1: Basic Concepts, Tools, and Applications 2nd Edition by Claude Cohen-Tannoudji | (PDF) Free Download

Description

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. The textbook retains its typical style also in the new edition: it explains the fundamental concepts in chapters which are elaborated in accompanying complements that provide more detailed discussions, examples and applications. * The quantum mechanics classic in a new edition: written by 1997 Nobel laureate Claude Cohen-Tannoudji and his colleagues Bernard Diu and Franck Laloë * As easily comprehensible as possible: all steps of the physical background and its mathematical representation are spelled out explicitly * Comprehensive: in addition to the fundamentals themselves, the book contains more than 350 worked examples plus exercises Claude Cohen-Tannoudji was a researcher at the Kastler-Brossel laboratory of the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris where he also studied and received his PhD in 1962. In 1973 he became Professor of atomic and molecular physics at the Collège des France. His main research interests were optical pumping, quantum optics and atom-photon interactions. In 1997, Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, together with Steven Chu and William D. Phillips, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his research on laser cooling and trapping of neutral atoms. Bernard Diu was Professor at the Denis Diderot University (Paris VII). He was engaged in research at the Laboratory of Theoretical Physics and High Energy where his focus was on strong interactions physics and statistical mechanics. Franck Laloë was a researcher at the Kastler-Brossel laboratory of the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris. His first assignment was with the University of Paris VI before he was appointed to the CNRS, the French National Research Center. His research was focused on optical pumping, statistical mechanics of quantum gases, musical acoustics and the foundations of quantum mechanics.

⭐The two quantum mechanics books by Cohen-Tannoudji, Diu and Laloe have been gold standards for many years; just ask any physicist. These books have been among the most important reference works in my personal library, and I have turned to them again and again over the years. I was therefore pleasantly surprised to see that the books had been updated and expanded into three volumes. Without hesitation, I immediately ordered all three.The only issue that concerned me—-and this is why I am writing this review—-is the fact that the new volumes are labeled “hardbound.” Readers of the first edition will recall that those books, too, were often listed as “hardbound” when in fact the covers were merely thick cardboard. Because of the soft binding, volume 1, a large book of over 900 pages, did not fare well under frequent usage; my first edition volume 1 is now held together with shipping tape.I was therefore pleased when I received volume 1 of the second edition and saw that it is, indeed, hardbound. It is also beautifully typeset and printed on very high quality paper. This is how a canonical reference book of 900+ pages SHOULD be produced.I thought that many of my fellow users of the first edition would be comforted by the knowledge that the new edition is actually hardbound, not covered in cardboard. It will now take some time to study the material that is new to the second edition and compare it to the first, but I have very high confidence in this team of authors and I feel confident that the purchase will be well worth the price.

⭐Just love it. Got it today, and already went to a chapter re-doing the calculations just for the fun. Incredible book. Imagine….800 pages of fun !!

⭐Comprehensive and thorough, it’s excellent for both self-learning and as a reference. This version is printed and bound beautifully. Definitely recommend the whole set (especially the new vol. 3)

⭐I also have the printed edition and the digital version is horrible: some referenced equations are REPEATED and thus the original equation is MISSING. Also the type settings of the digital equations is very bad. If the was an eBook instead of a Kindle book maybe it could have been better. So far all the eBooks I got have been of high quality. But this Kindle book is HORRIBLE!!!

⭐Il testo è un classico, al di sopra di ogni discussione, bella la copertina rigida, però la legatura è molto scadente, le pagine si staccano con estrema facilità, perché sono trattenute solo da un minuscolo incollaggio. La carta è leggermente patinata, non in modo troppo fastidioso.Uno de los mejores libros de mecánica cuántica. El libro se compone de capítulos breves y concisos, con apéndices que permiten ir al detalle de temas específicos.
