In summary, the main problem with Cohen Tannoudji's book is that it contains errors and inconsistencies in the equations and derivations. These errors can lead to confusion and misunderstanding of the subject matter, and they can be corrected by referring to other reliable sources and consulting with experts. Additionally, the book lacks clear explanations and examples, making it difficult for beginners to follow. However, despite these issues, it is still worth reading as a supplementary text for learning quantum mechanics, as long as it is cross-referenced with other sources for a complete understanding.
