Quantum Mechanics, Volume 2: Angular Momentum, Spin, and Approximation Methods (Hardcover)

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 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 170 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.

這本無與倫比的教科書的新版介紹了一些概念，例如量子散射理論、角動量相加的特殊和一般情況、時間獨立和時間相依的微擾理論，以及相同粒子系統。整本書已經修訂，以納入量子力學課程的新發展。

這本教科書在新版中保留了其典型風格：它在章節中解釋了基本概念，並在附帶的補充中進一步討論、提供更詳細的解釋、例子和應用。

* 這是量子力學的經典教材的新版：由1997年諾貝爾獎得主Claude Cohen-Tannoudji及其同事Bernard Diu和Franck Laloë共同撰寫
* 盡可能易於理解：將物理背景及其數學表示的每一步都明確說明
* 全面：除了基礎知識外，書中還包含超過170個實例和練習題

Claude Cohen-Tannoudji曾是巴黎高等師範學院Kastler-Brossel實驗室的研究員，他也在該校學習並於1962年獲得博士學位。1973年，他成為法國學院原子與分子物理學教授。他的主要研究興趣包括光泵浦、量子光學和原子-光子相互作用。1997年，Claude Cohen-Tannoudji與Steven Chu和William D. Phillips一起因他們在冷卻和捕捉中性原子的激光研究而獲得諾貝爾物理學獎。

Bernard Diu曾是巴黎第七大學（Denis Diderot University）的教授。他在理論物理和高能物理實驗室從事研究，專注於強相互作用物理和統計力學。

Franck Laloë曾是巴黎高等師範學院Kastler-Brossel實驗室的研究員。他最初在巴黎第六大學任職，後來被任命為法國國家科學研究中心（CNRS）的研究員。他的研究重點包括光泵浦、量子氣體的統計力學、音樂聲學和量子力學的基礎。
