SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding a comprehensive text for Quantum Mechanics (QM) that includes numerous worked examples and a solutions manual. The user is currently studying Griffiths' book and seeks additional resources to master the subject. Recommendations include Schaum's Outline for Quantum Mechanics, "Practical Quantum Mechanics" by Siegfried Flugge, and lecture notes by Prof. John Norbury, which provide problems and solutions at an undergraduate level. A concern is raised regarding missing diagrams in the Norbury notes, with a suggestion to contact the author for assistance.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with Quantum Mechanics concepts as presented in Griffiths' textbook.
  • Basic understanding of theoretical physics principles.
  • Ability to navigate and extract resources from online academic platforms.
  • Experience with problem-solving in physics, particularly in quantum mechanics.
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore Schaum's Outline for Quantum Mechanics for additional exercises and solutions.
  • Read "Practical Quantum Mechanics" by Siegfried Flugge for further insights and examples.
  • Access and review Prof. John Norbury's lecture notes on quantum mechanics and quantum field theory.
  • Contact Prof. John Norbury regarding the missing diagrams in his lecture notes.
USEFUL FOR

Students and self-learners in physics, particularly those focusing on quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, as well as educators seeking supplemental teaching materials.

I'm looking for a text with loads of worked examples , plenty of exercises,
and since I'm working alone , a solutions manual - or some access to the answers - is vital.
Currently working Griffiths.
The only way to master this demon is by doing dozens of problems.
Any suggestions appreciated.

[ My background is primary degree in maths.+ masters in theoretical physics BUT 40 years ago.my ambition is to "understand" QED/QFT before I <d|I|e> ]
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Although many of Schaum's outlines are worthless, their QM book is quite good. You might want to look at that.
 
Practical Quantum Mechanics, by Siegfried Flugge
 
There is an excellent set of lecture notes by Prof. John Norbury on both quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. These are freely available online. Just google norbury+physics.
In the quantum mechanics lecture notes he essentially follows Griffiths' book but there are a lot of problems and complete solutions to them.
Moreover, these are written at an undergraduate level, so are relatively easy to understand.
 
Thanks for the suggestions
The Norbury notes look very interesting , however the diagrams are missing
when I unzip the .rar files. Any ideas how to fix this?
 
Unfortunately that's a problem and I don't know a way out.
Maybe you could email Norbury and request him to send a pdf with diagrams.
