Book Description

A clear and accessible introduction to theory and applications of quantum mechanics for junior/senior undergraduate students of physics.

About the Author

David J. Griffiths received his B.A. (1964) and Ph.D. (1970) from Harvard University. He taught at Hampshire College, Mount Holyoke College, and Trinity College before joining the faculty at Reed College in 1978. In 2001–02 he was visiting Professor of Physics at the Five Colleges (University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Mount Holyoke, Smith, and Hampshire), and in the spring of 2007 he taught Electrodynamics at Stanford. He retired in 2009. Griffiths is a Consulting Editor of The American Journal of Physics, and a Fellow of the American Physical Society. In 1997 he was awarded the Millikan Medal by the American Association of Physics Teachers. He has spent sabbaticals at SLAC, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, and University of California, Berkeley. Although his Ph.D. was in elementary particle theory, his recent research is in electrodynamics and quantum mechanics. He is the author of over fifty articles and four books: Introduction to Electrodynamics (4th edition, Cambridge, 2013), Introduction to Elementary Particles (2nd edition, 2008), Introduction to Quantum Mechanics (2nd edition, Cambridge, 2016), and Revolutions in Twentieth-Century Physics (Cambridge, 2012).

Darrell F. Schroeter is a condensed matter theorist. He received his B.A. (1995) from Reed College and his Ph.D. (2002) from Stanford University where he was a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow. Before joining the Reed College, Oregon, faculty in 2007, Schroeter taught at both Swarthmore College and Occidental College. His record of successful theoretical research with undergraduate students was recognized in 2011 when he was named as a KITP-Anacapa scholar.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Intro Quantum Textbook
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2024
Verified Purchase
I love this textbook! It’s a great introductory resource, I used this for my undergraduate Quantum Mechanics course. Definitely brush up on your math before hand, especially integrals and linear algebra, but the book does a great job of describing what it’s doing and how the proofs work.

My only problem is the shipping and packaging. This book came very fast and on time, but there was no protective packaging in the box or anything to prevent damage during the shipping process. So, my copy did have a bit of wear on the cover. It wasn’t anything drastic that I felt I needed to return, but please be aware if you order a new copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Formatting of the Mathematics in the Kindle App Version of this Book
Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2024
Verified Purchase
This is an excellent book on many levels. Good explanations, and examples, very readable. This is why it is so famous. In addition, the mathematics in the Kindle app version is (unlike some eBooks) completely readable in terms of font size and clarity. (Congrats to the publisher for presenting the author's work so well.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Never fails to impress.
Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2020

Introduction to Quantum Mechanics, along with Griffiths’ other magnificent piece: Introduction to Electrodynamics; together, are two of the best undergraduate textbooks available.

Professor Griffiths’ approach in this one is pretty mathematical, though he doesn’t ever sacrifice conceptual reasoning for mathematical sophistication. Everything he says is perpetuated with concise explanations and purpose. What I find most remarkable is how Griffiths’ seems to know the reader personally; offering derivations or further explanation at the perfect time. The problem sets are not easy, for the most part. There is hardly any hand-holding, and solutions to the problems (written by Griffiths himself) are available online as PDFs.

As the third edition of this text, it is very modern. There is no worry of stumbling across outdated information. The overall visual presentation is pretty standard, but clean. The diagrams are always very helpful. The one (albeit minor) complaint I have is the deficit of example problems. There is usually only one per section, and I think some sections could certainly use more. Regardless, I would recommend this book to anyone with a foundation of multivariable calculus, some DE, and— of course— the classical mechanics prerequisite. It would probably be a good idea to know your vector calculus as well as electrodynamics.

4.0 out of 5 stars Typical textbook coverage of QM
Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2020

This book provides a nominal textbook coverage of QM for undergrads. Explanations are fairly clear and has some example problems. A little weak on EPR observables and correlation.

Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2023

I love the way Griffiths explains physics material. It is intuitive and integrated with the background math. He uses clear examples and explains everything, not leaving out information that might be deemed too "high-level" to skip over. I love all his textbooks but this one gives an especially intuitive understanding of Quantum physics.
