Book Reviews of Introductory Quantum Mechanics (4th Edition)
Book Review: Basis and Representations
Summary: 5 Stars
I am giving Chapter 11 (4th ed.) five stars. The rest of the book is around four stars. Chapter 11 on Elements of Matrix Mechanics contains the best, clearest discussion of Basis and Representations I have ever seen. Matrix methods and the powerful significance of unitary transformations (11.3) then becomes perfectly clear. Yes, I know a lot of this is discussed in Schiff, but sometimes, you just need someone elses view. (Actually, I'd say it took Liboff to enable me to understand Schiff.) To me, wave function representation by sets of complete functions, and the relationship of those function sets to operators and matrices, are the most elegant parts of quantum mechanics. Liboff does an excellent job of describing these beautiful topics.
Summary of Introductory Quantum Mechanics (4th Edition)
Careful and detailed explanations of challenging concepts in Introductory Quantum Mechanics, Fourth Edition, and comprehensive and up-to-date coverage, continue to set the standard in physics education. In the new edition of this best-selling quantum mechanics book, a new chapter on the revolutionary topic of of quantum computing (not currently covered in any other book at this level) and thorough updates to the rest of the book bring it up to date.
