Solution Manual to Accompany Volume II of Quantum Mechanics by Cohen-Tannoudji, Diu and Laloë

Provides detailed solutions to all 47 problems in the seminal textbook Quantum Mechanics, Volume II

With its counter-intuitive premises and its radical variations from classical mechanics or electrodynamics, quantum mechanics is among the most important and challenging components of a modern physics education. Students tackling quantum mechanics curricula generally practice by working through increasingly difficult problem sets that demand both a theoretical grounding and a solid understanding of mathematical technique.

Solution Manual to Accompany Volume II of Quantum Mechanics by Cohen-Tannoudji, Diu and Laloë is designed to help you grasp the fundamentals of quantum mechanics by doing. This essential set of solutions provides explicit explanations of every step, focusing on the physical theory and formal mathematics needed to solve problems with varying degrees of difficulty.

• Contains in-depth explanations of problems concerning quantum mechanics postulates, mathematical tools, approximation methods, and more
• Covers topics including perturbation theory, addition of angular momenta, electron spin, systems of identical particles, time-dependent problems, and quantum scattering theory
• Guides readers on transferring the solution approaches to comparable problems in quantum mechanics
• Includes numerous figures that demonstrate key steps and clarify key concepts

Solution Manual to Accompany Volume II of Quantum Mechanics by Cohen-Tannoudji, Diu and Laloë is a must-have for students in physics, chemistry, or the materials sciences wanting to master these challenging problems, as well as for instructors looking for pedagogical approaches to the subject.
