Specifically, for this section/year: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/physics/8-04-quantum-physics-i-spring-2016/assignments/.

I ask for those problem sets because I am following Prof. Barton Zwiebach's lectures on edX and the website doesn't seem to parse the HTML for the assignments always. What ends up happening, as a result, is that the website sometimes doesn't display all the questions or sometimes doesn't display the prompt. I contacted the edX team about a couple of weeks ago but they haven't gotten back to me (possibly due to the pandemic).

Yes, he hasn't gotten back to me yet. Though, I sent the email only a few days ago (not a couple of weeks ago as I did for the edX support team/staff)
 
So, you do understand that for textbooks the Instructor Solution Manual is generally limited to the instructors teaching this class. This seems like a different situation, so we will be interested in the responses you receive from the instructor and the school.

Yes, although, I did find a different version of the course that has the solutions online: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/physics/8-04-quantum-physics-i-spring-2013/assignments/. I'm hesitant to do this course instead because I'm already half-way through with the other course and they seem to cover slightly different material or are taught different speeds...

Update from edX: since the course got archived in 2018, they expect some features such as some of the homework problems and discussions to no longer function.
