Synopsis

Quantum mechanics? Just hearing the name, we get sick. It seems to be something complicated (and is), but here I will try to explain this theory in simple terms. However, this does not mean that you will go to understand quantum mechanics. As Niels Bohr said, "who says he understands quantum mechanics, you have not understood it." Does it look like something strange, doesn't it? Yes so. Quantum mechanics challenges our common sense.Quantum mechanics is the theory that describes the behavior of the universe at the microscopic level; are composed of atoms and subatomic particles and quantum mechanics explains the behavior of these basic units. Hence, the name: Mechanical (explain behavior) quantum (the microscopic world, the quantum).There are three explanations for this schizophrenic behavior of nature at the level of atoms and subatomic particles, but none of them are officially accepted by the scientific community. We can say that the most important is that quantum mechanics works, and explanations may be to philosophers.

Goodreads review by Erickson on March 18, 2018

Very good book on quantum mechanics introduction with many worked examples. It has quite a few typos and also sometimes the motivations are not clear because the book focuses a lot on the mechanics of the equations. It is more properly like a "workbook" of sorts, preferably complementing more physic......more

It is very useful book for specially physics student and specially before higher education to learning principle of quantum physics with a large number of solved examples and a lot of exercise.......more

Goodreads review by Adam on August 22, 2018

Pros: 1) Many examples: The author goes through trivial examples first and then he gradually increases the difficulty. 2) Many problems: You will find many interesting and non-trivial problems here. 3) Some explanations are as clear as it gets. Also, some of them are more intuitive than any other expla......more

Goodreads review by Mobin on July 11, 2018

pretty standard. it covers the standard quantum phenomena and nothing more. I'd rather say it's more of a mathematical quantum mechanics book and covers less basics. it mostly cover quantum problem solving and does it pretty good. if you want to read for quantum basics and discussions and learn quantum......more

Half done - the exercises and worked problems are really helpful. Will visit again for scattering, perturbation theory and rotation.......more
