Quantum Mechanics: Volume II: Angular Momentum, Spin, and Approximation Methods

This new edition of the unrivalled textbook introduces concepts such as the quantum theory of scattering by a potential, special and general cases of adding angular momenta, time-independent and time-dependent perturbation theory, and systems of identical particles. The entire book has been revised to take into account new developments in quantum mechanics curricula.

The textbook retains its original style in is new edition: fundamental concepts are explained in chapters, each followed by 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 170 worked examples plus exercises
