We used Shankar for our undergrad QM class. If you did Lagrange and Hamilton Mechanics then QM is much clearer. As Shankar says, in a field that is advanced enough to be presented axiomatically, learn the math first and the rest will follow.
@Lovely Douche Hehe I'm Filipino but Shankar is the first QM book that I came across with. I'm just happy for the review because it can help me decide if I really wan't to go through with it. I'm preparing for MS in physics. ☺️☺️
When you start to learn Quantum Field Theory, you will think why there is no Griffiths for QFT. All QFT textbooks are just like incomplete or weird notation.
An Introduction to Quantum Physics: A First Course for Physicists, Chemists, Materials Scientists, and Engineers Author(s):Stefanos Trachanas, Manolis Antonoyiannakis, Leonidas Tsetseris
Hey, we get those for free here in Greece! It's lower level than Shankar or whatever but they're great books because they talk about lots and lots of different things and applications.
I remember appreciating (the obviously titled) "Quantum Mechanics" by Cohen, Diu, Laloe (translated into English from French) to complement my first course into QM, and that was around 1999. We also had "Introduzione alla Fisica Teorica" (Introduction to theoretical physics) by Caldirola, Cirelli, Prosperi, of which I don't suspect an English translation exists, but I might be wrong. The two adopted different approaches to the formulation, so that they complemented each other well. They both might be "dated" respect to current textbooks. I was also reading Dirac's "The Principles of QM" and von Neumann "The Mathematical Foundations of QM", so a couple of "classics" to go with the textbooks.
What about Cohen-Tannoudji's book on Quantum Mechanics, Andrew? Some people say it's kind of encyclopedic, but I really like the depth it proposes. Also, the author splits the theory itself from the applications by introducing Complements at the end of the chapters. It's worth a shot!
Griffiths is like a holy Bible of Physics Students. I studied from Griffiths for like first 5 chapters then I moved on to QM by zetelli which is a pretty decent book with large number of solved examples QM by shanker is by far the best I have encountered.
@@mangaka08 This pretty much sums up my experience. Unfortunately we used Griffiths in undergraduate quantum. It was almost a burden since it is so handwavy that you are left with scattered picture of things that aren't even always right. I felt that I had to basically start from a scratch when I found Shankar. One great example of how horrible Griffiths books is how it "defines" probability current. After definition you are asked to calculate the probability current in some situation. But surprise surprise, you are supposed to use different definition of probability current! Of course he doesn't tell you this but you might discover it from google after hitting your head to brick wall for some hours. This is so stupid that I can't comprehend. Do yourself a favor and stay away from Griffiths and start right away with Shankar instead!
Principles of quantum mechanics by dirac, I'm start to learn quantum mechanics with this boy, together with Theoretical Minimum part 2 of leonard susskind
I highly recommend McIntyre's book on QM for undergraduates. It introduces dirac notation immediately and eases you into it by starting with discrete states (like spin) instead of continuous states (like wave functions). I used this for quantum physics 1 and 2. Quantum physics 3 at my school uses Sakurai.
I'm starting to read Leonard Susskind's Theoretical Minimum book on Quantum Mechanics. It's pretty interesting how he starts off with Spin states and Dirac Notation and then at the end gets to Wave packets and infinite square wells and whatnot. Different from the structure of my QM class right now - but I definietly recommend Susskind's clear explanations.... reminds me of Feynman :)
It isn't. Griffith tells you in the beginning that he doesn't actually understand QM and then he proves it to you in book length. That doesn't mean he doesn't teach you how to calculate with it. That he does. He just won't teach you any physics. He is exactly as every other QM textbook author in that respect.
@@sombal1999 It's pretty standard for universities in Europe and South America to teach Sakurai for QM and even Jackson for E&M to undergrads. Even though the US higher education system is (pretty much unarguably) the best in the world, other countries often combine their undergrad and masters programs so that when you graduate and go into grad school, it's already like you have a master's degree.
@@chrisallen9509 learning E&M from Jackson sounds rough if you consider the horror stories used to describe these books, but I guess it helps you filter the best of the best
I'm taking my first course on quantum mechanics right now and the professor recommended us the Cohen-Tannoudji textbook, it's more complete than Griffiths, but I recently bought it so I don't know if it's really good
I was introduced to quantum mechanics in a physical chemistry class, and I though the books we used were extremely helpful, they were: Physical Chemistry by Engel and Reid, and Physical Chemistry by Atkins. They are my go to books whenever I am stuck on a topic that can be explained by Quantum Mechanics.
My first course in QM was with Cohen-Tannoudji volume 1 and a bit of volume 2. It has a very strange display, with chapters, but every application or extra topic about that chapter arr in complementd. It starts with failed experiments using CM. Then introduces wave packets. The second chapter (if i remember correctly) is about the formalism, dirac notation, basis, change of representations and it is a very long chapter. Then goes with postulates and everything you have to know in a QM course. In volume 2 we have addition of angular momenta, super well explained in details with the math, we also have time independent perturbation theory and finally the conection of the space and spin wave functions: spinors. Thats for the first course i had. The second course in QM is about scatrering, time dependent perturbation theory, interaction between radiation and matter, identical particles, atoms and molecules. In that course we are using Bransden-Joachain “Quantum Mechanics” and “physics of atoms and molecules”, and “Quantum Collision Theory” by Joachain. They give all the math needed to understand the theory correctly.
If you read the Sakurai book closely enough, you will understand physics like you've never done before. It's - beyond formalism and math. It's very: PHYSICAL. Can't quite describe it.
Griffith QM is bad...It was ok and easy to get into for the first couple of chapters, once it gets to spin, then you suddenly realize this book set it up wrong and it stopped making sense. Griffith to get started, Shankar for some rigor..... but really to understand it, Sakurai, and it's thought provoking.
Don't even mention about spin! I dived deep into these sections and I still don't understand what is happening! I hope those grad level quantum textbook clears things up
A book I don't think gets enough love is the book by Le Bellac. I used it for an undergraduate course and found that even though it uses Dirac notation throughout (I think wave mechanics is a single chapter), the logical structure of QM was so well presented I found it easier to understand than Griffiths a lot of the time. Plus it has some really neat applications of QM not in other books. I don't think I would recommend it over Griffiths, but the two together form a very solid base for QM.
We use John S Townsend a modern approach to quantum mechanics for my undergrad quantum. It jumps RIGHT into dirac notation and spin angular momentum with the stern Gerlach experiment. Ive found that the sudden leap into the notation of quantum forced me really learn it. Ive enjoyed the book although the math is sometimes handwavey.
Zetilli QM is the best book for a formal intro, then you can complement it with some parts of Sakurai before delving into more advanced stuff. Griffith is just a lazy subpar intro that confused me a lot when started QM.
We used Shankar for our undergrad QM course. Having finished (i.e., survived) that course, I have to conclude that it was better than Griffiths. I think that our professor had a lot to do with that.
These days any quantum books that don't cover Von Neumann's impossibility proof, Bell's Theorem, Entanglement in detail are useless. Although the best book on QM i've read is the one from David Bohm...he explain things in great detail and tries to build intuition for the subject.
Griffiths book is loved because you can find the solutions to all of the problems in the book. That's all there is to it. And he wrote the great EM book. Naturally, someone will take QM after he completes the EM course, so everybody assumes his QM book will be as good too.
Yes, you are right. I meant you can find the solutions to all the problems that are in the book, not that the solutions are in the book! Bad syntax! By find I mean from colleagues, internet etc. @@ethereal_wanderer
I first learned QM (self study) from Bohm's "Quantum Theory". It's super cheap (published by Dover). It's a really old book (1950's), and doesn't use Dirac notation, but it's really thorough, and has detailed text explanations and ponderings about various topics, as well as all the math to back it up. The first (motivational) chapter is the most difficult, and could be probably be skipped by most. My undergrad Quantum book was Desai's "Quantum Mechanics with Basic Field Theory". This book, in contrast to Bohm's, is modern, and it was briefly used as the QM text for QMI and QMII (both undergrad) at the University of Toronto. This book is filled with mathematical errors, typos, and inconsistencies, and most of the derivations can't be trusted. Most of fellow students hated it because of all the errors, but that's actually one of the reasons I like it. I worked through everything myself, and came out with a really thorough understanding of the material.
After 1.5 years of struggling in self studying QM, one interesting fact I found, and would like to share with you and many other self motivated QM students, for bachelor level QM studies, some of the best textbooks may not be QM titled, rather, we need to pay more attentions to atomic physics related textbooks. I still remember your statement regarding how all the QM textbooks are somewhat shallow in advance mathematics for certain areas in QM, e.g. your struggling of Clebsch-Gordan coefficients (spins), to our surprise, such topic is widely available in atomic physics textbooks... with in depth explanations. For graduate level studies, also please pay attention to particle physics textbooks, lots goodies there. Do some digging and you will know what I mean. 😉😉😉
Why is that a surprise? An introductory QM text gives you a general idea how to solve the SE. It doesn't tell you anything about real physics. That you have to look up in atomic, nuclear and solid state physics textbooks. That's no different from a book about classical mechanics vs. a book about orbital mechanics. Of course the CM textbook will tell you how to solve the Kepler problem, but it won't tell you how to navigate to the ISS or Mars.
Andrew I like the easygoing approach of yours with which you introduce us the name of the books and details,that reduces the fears of any student in a piecewise manner 😊. Along with your library of Quantum (Mechanis+Physics+Theory) I want to add a couple of books 1: Introductory Quantum Mechanics-Richard.L.Liboff 2: An introduction to Quantum Physics by A.P.French & Edwin.F Taylor (The M.I.T Introductory Physics Series) Thanks and loves 🙏 from INDIA 🇮🇳
Do you (or anyone else) have much of an opinion on Feynman's text on Feynman's path integrals? Also, if one is wishing to study much further than Sakurai's QM text, any recommendations? (I'm a self-teaching boi)
I've actually heard pretty nice things about feynmans book. Quarks and Leptons by Halzen is good for post-intro quantum. Sakurai also has an advanced quantum textbook if you like his style.
To learn basic concepts of Quantum Physics / Quantum Mechanics I would recommend these ones: Quantum Physics of Atoms, Molecules, Solids, Nuclei, and Particles by Robert Eisberg and Robert Resnick Quantum Mechanics: A Paradigms Approach by David McIntyre (my favorite) A Modern Approach to Quantum Mechanics by John Townsend QUANTUM PHYSICS by MICHEL LE BELLAC Schaum’s Outline - Quantum Mechanics (2012) (very well structured book with several solved exercises, unfortunately only covers the essentials).
You had me worried for a bit, in one of your newest videos you kinda discredited Shankar, but i see here, that you like it. My question is, what changed?
There is a book called ‘Introductory Quantum Mechanics’ by Richard Liboff. Have you looked at this book before? I would like to know if you recommend this book to an undergrad. I wanna look at this because it talks about quantum computers and more applied stuff.
Please can you suggest me a book like J.J.Sakurai....i mean the way sakurai approaches Quantum Mechanics using bra-ket notation....can you please please let me know any other books as same approach....it would be great help.thank you.
My course uses Griffiths, but since I find QM VERY interesting, I bought both Shankar and Sakurai. This is also because in the next year I plan to visit the lectures on Quantum Mechanics for grad students, even though it isn't my turn to take this course yet. It's a good idea though, because then I have one more year before I really have to take this class, and I then already know what to expect/what my weaknesses are. Also, how much did you pay for your copy of Shankar (and where did you buy it)? I only find copies for 120 Dollars and up :/

There is a book called ‘Introductory Quantum Mechanics’ by Richard Liboff. Have you looked at this book before? I would like to know if you recommend this book to an undergrad. I wanna look at this because it talks about quantum computers and more applied stuff.
Hey Andrew!!! 👌🏽💯
Dude what about Richard L.Lboff
For ug introduction of quantum" Quantum physics by Robert eisberg and Robert Resnik" is a good text
Easy, detailed explanations.
What about cohen tannoudji and zettelli
Please can you suggest me a book like J.J.Sakurai....i mean the way sakurai approaches Quantum Mechanics using bra-ket notation....can you please please let me know any other books as same approach....it would be great help.thank you.
Townsend's A modern approach to QM
John S. Townsend is the simplification of Sakurai. Well you can learn bra-kets from Zettili as well.
if it is any good information for you, there is quantum mechanics textbook by B.K. Agrawal and Hari Prakash, on same level as Sakurai.
You must show the front of the book while explaining
My course uses Griffiths, but since I find QM VERY interesting, I bought both Shankar and Sakurai. This is also because in the next year I plan to visit the lectures on Quantum Mechanics for grad students, even though it isn't my turn to take this course yet. It's a good idea though, because then I have one more year before I really have to take this class, and I then already know what to expect/what my weaknesses are. Also, how much did you pay for your copy of Shankar (and where did you buy it)? I only find copies for 120 Dollars and up :/
Imo, Quantum Mechanics for Mathematicians, B C Hall is the best book to learn QM
Please 🙏 how do I download the books because I can't access them in my country (Kenya)
Reply if you know please
May God bless you
Library genesis.
What do think about Schaum's series, Mr Dotson?
Is there any PDF of this book of R Shankar?
Please do same for general relativity
Please
🙏
Im gonna teach myself stuff about quantum mechanics I fell between the cracks in school smh
