About The Book
"Quantum Mechanics" by Albert Messiah is a renowned textbook that provides an in-depth and comprehensive exploration of quantum mechanics, making it an ideal resource for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals. The book, originally published in French as a two-volume set, is now available in this convenient single-volume translation.

The first part of the book begins with a detailed discussion of the origins of quantum theory, matter waves, the Schrödinger equation, and one-dimensional quantized systems. It also covers the uncertainty principle and the mathematical framework underlying quantum mechanics.

The second half of the book delves into symmetries and invariance in quantum mechanics, including topics such as angular momentum, identical particles, and the Pauli exclusion principle. It also covers important concepts like conservation laws, time reversal, and methods of approximation, including stationary perturbations, variational methods, and collision theory. The final chapters of the book explore relativistic quantum mechanics.
