Quantum Mechanics: An Introduction

by Walter Greiner

The text Quantum Mechanics - An Introduction has found many friends among physics students and researchers so that the need for a third edition has arisen. There was no need for a major revision of the text but I have taken the opportunity to make several amendments and improvements. A number of misprints and minor errors have been corrected and a few clarifying remarks have been added at various places. A few figures have been added or revised, in particular the three-dimensional density plots in Chap. 9. I am grateful to several colleagues for helpful comments, in particular to Prof. R.A. King (Calgary) who supplied a comprehensive list of corrections. I also thank Dr. A. Scherdin for help with the figures and Dr. R. Mattiello who has supervised the preparation of the third edition of the book. Furthermore I acknowledge the agreeable collaboration with Dr. H. 1. Kolsch and his team at Springer-Verlag, Heidelberg.

An introductory book on Quantum Mechanics that is at a much higher level than other introductory books. Provides proofs whenever possible and gives precise and thorough explanations. Although there are more pedagogical books (like Shankar's or Griffith's textbooks), you will learn Quantum Mechanics and be at a very good level if you go through this book. Greiner is popular for giving many examples that are fully worked out and this book does not disappoint in this aspect. A really good treatment of Quantum Mechanics!

I really like this book and how it’s structured but it takes ages to go through. Could be used as supplementary text to let’s say Sakurai’s modern Quantum mechanics.
