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.

i am self learning physics. have you ever worked your way backwards again after finishing most undergrad courses? i have textbooks for junior/senior physics courses in classical mechanics, electrodynamics, thermal physics, quantum mechanics, and mathematical methods for self learning. i have the Halliday Resnick sophomore book. working backwards, i checked out Conceptual Physics 11th edition by Hewitt and found this book very helpful. What i liked most was how stimulating the pictures...
