Summary:

"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 its new edition: fundamental concepts are explained in chapters, each followed by complements that provide more detailed discussions, examples and applications"--page 4 of cover.

Contents:

volume 1. Basic concepts, tools, and applications

volume 2. Angular momentum, spin, and approximation methods

volume 3. Fermions, bosons, photons, correlations, and entanglement.
