AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on seeking advanced resources for a quantum mechanics course that covers complex topics such as Pauli spin matrices, quantum computer initialization, density matrices, and monopole vector potentials. The original poster finds existing texts insufficient for their needs and requests recommendations for more detailed books. A suggested resource is highlighted, which includes valuable sections on quantum optics, measurement, information, computation, and density matrices, indicating it may be beneficial for those studying advanced quantum mechanics concepts.

hi there,

I have an advanced QM course I am doing now, a lot of pauli spin matrix identitys, quantum computer initalisation( rotations of 3 spin 1/2 states ), density matrices, two level systems, persistent currents and monopole vector potentials...

The math is beyond me, i have griffiths, diracs and a few intro books to QM none of which go into enough detail in these areas. Any suggestions of a book (or books) that could help?

Any suggestions would be appriciated!

cheers

Thread 'Book recommendation after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics'

TL;DR Summary: Book after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics I am doing a comprehensive reading of sakurai and I have solved every problem from chapters I finished on my own, I will finish the book within 2 weeks and I want to delve into qft and other particle physics related topics, not from summaries but comprehensive books, I will start a graduate program related to cern in 3 months, I alreadily knew some qft but now I want to do it, hence do a good book with good problems in it first...

Thread 'Blennow to follow up Altland?'

TLDR: is Blennow "Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering" a good follow-up to Altland "Mathematics for physicists"? Hello everybody, returning to physics after 30-something years, I felt the need to brush up my maths first. It took me 6 months and I'm currently more than half way through the Altland "Mathematics for physicists" book, covering the math for undergraduate studies at the right level of sophystication, most of which I howewer already knew (being an aerospace engineer)...
