Lectures on Quantum Mechanics - Steven Weinberg

Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg presents a concise introduction to modern quantum mechanics in the fully updated second edition of "Lectures on Quantum Mechanics." This edition includes six new sections covering topics such as the rigid rotator and quantum key distribution, making it an ideal resource for a one-year graduate course or as a reference for researchers.

The textbook begins with a review of the history of quantum mechanics and classic solutions of the Schrödinger equation. Weinberg then develops quantum mechanics in a modern Hilbert space approach, elucidating topics such as Bloch waves, band structure, the Wigner-Eckart theorem, magic numbers, isospin symmetry, and general scattering theory with exceptional clarity.

Each chapter includes problems for practice, with solutions available for instructors at www.cambridge.org/9781107111660.
