SUMMARY

Bransden's "Quantum Mechanics" 2nd edition currently lacks an official solutions manual, which poses a challenge for students seeking to verify their understanding of the exercises. The discussion highlights the frustration of an undergraduate assisting a postdoc in quantum mechanics research without access to solutions. Alternatives to Bransden's text that include solutions manuals are sought, as the book itself does not provide answers to its problems. The conversation emphasizes the need for accessible resources for students in advanced quantum mechanics studies.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of quantum mechanics principles
  • Familiarity with academic research practices
  • Knowledge of quantum mechanics textbooks and their content
  • Ability to access and interpret academic papers, such as those on arXiv
NEXT STEPS
  • Research alternative quantum mechanics textbooks with solutions manuals
  • Explore online forums for shared resources related to Bransden's QM
  • Investigate academic networks for potential access to instructor solution manuals
  • Review the paper linked in the discussion for deeper insights into quantum mechanics applications
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for undergraduate students, researchers in quantum mechanics, and anyone seeking effective study resources for advanced quantum mechanics texts.

Hi all, does anyone know if Bransden's book has a solutions manual out there somewhere? I would loathe to go through the chapters before realising that I can't find solutions to its exercises.

If not, are there QM texts out there with a similar scope to this book that do have solutions manuals to accompany them?

Some background: I am an undergraduate with minimal knowledge of QM, but somehow got myself into a position where I'm assisting a postdoc in QM research, specifically, trying to understand this paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1703.04597

Advice (and recommendations to texts) are really appreciated!

Instructor solution manuals are for instructors, not for students. But if you are working with a post-Doc, maybe you can qualify for it through them?

If only Instructor solution manuals are available, this thread will likely be closed to prevent illegal download links from being posted.
 
Unfortunately the postdoc doesn't have said manual. The thing is, the book diesn't provide answers to its problems either.

Do you have any alternatives in mind for the text I mentioned? Thanks in advance.
