Quantum Mechanics, Volume 2 by Bernard Diu
This textbook and reference by Nobel Prize Laureate Claude Cohen-Tannoudji separates essential underlying principles of quantum mechanics from specific applications and practical examples and deals with each of them in a different section. Chapters emphasize principles; complementary sections supply applications.
Claude Cohen--Tannoudji, born in Constantine (Algeria) in 1933, studied at the Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris, where he received a postdoctoral lecture qualification in 1962. In 1973 he was accepted at the College de France, and in 1981 became a member of the Academy of Sciences. In 1997, Claude Cohen--Tannoudji was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his research on laser cooling of neutral atoms (together with Steven Chu and William D. Phillips). The method is relevant for the development of precise atomic clocks, which are used for positioning and navigation. His is currently affiliated to the Laboratoire de Physique at the Ecole Normale Superieure (Paris). His textbook on quantum mechanics, written together with Bernard Diu und Franck Laloe, is one of the best--known timeless standard references in this field and is recommended on a regular basis by lecturers of undergraduate courses.
