A 15-year-old self-studying physics and math is seeking problem sets with answers to enhance their understanding of quantum mechanics, specifically while working through Cohen-Tannoudji's textbook. Recommendations include an online set of problems and solutions found at a university website, which may be relevant to their studies. Additionally, "Schaum's Outline of Quantum Mechanics" is suggested as a valuable resource, containing over 200 solved problems. A related forum thread discusses the merits of Cohen-Tannoudji's versus Shankar's textbooks in quantum mechanics, providing further context for learners.

Hey!

I'm fifteen and have been self-studying physics and math for quite some time now. I'm getting further into Cohen-Tannoudji and, while I do the exercises, I worry about whether or not I'm doing them correctly.

I'd like some problem sets with answers-- online or in book format-- that would tie into my studies. Thanks!

I'm guessing it's this book your working through
Cohen-Tannoudji, Claude. Quantum Mechanics. 2 vols. Wiley, 1977. ISBN: 0471164321
(reading for http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Physics/8-05Fall-2004/CourseHome/)

I know very little about QM but googling I found this set of problems and solutions, I hope they are relevant:

Also in the thread below someone suggests "Schaums Outline Quantum Mechanics", it has over 200 solved problems.

Hope this helps.

Im currently reading mathematics for physicists by Philippe Dennery and André Krzywicki, and I’m understanding most concepts however I think it would be better for me to get a book on complex analysis or calculus to better understand it so I’m not left looking at an equation for an hour trying to figure out what it means. So here comes the split, do I get a complex analysis book? Or a calculus book? I might be able to Borrow a calculus textbook from my math teacher study that for a bit and...
