Textbooks for Atomic and Molecular quantum mechanics?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on self-study in quantum mechanics, specifically seeking recommendations for textbooks on atomic and molecular quantum mechanics. Participants express interest in furthering their knowledge and share their current resources, including "Molecular Quantum Mechanics" by Atkins and Friedman. One user mentions ordering a specific book from Amazon, which they find clear and easy to follow after reading a few chapters. The conversation highlights the importance of selecting the right textbooks in areas such as molecular quantum mechanics, molecular physics, quantum chemistry, and computational chemistry for effective self-study.

Hi, i am self studying quantum mechanics. I completed reading of "Quantum Physics_Eisberg, Resnick" and "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics - D. Griffiths". I want to study further on Atomic and Molecular quantum mechanics. Can anyone suggest me textbook on those topics?

Thanks in advance.

I'm interested in this too. So hopefully someone replies with specific recommendations.

I've been poking around amazon, and it looks like the main subject areas (based on tables of contents of various books) are:
Molecular quantum mechanics
Molecular physics
Quantum chemistry
Computational chemistry
 
I currently posses a book named "Molecular Quantum Mechanics_P Atkins__R. Friedman". But i am not sure is it worth reading.

Recommendation Please.
 
Thank u redrzewski.
 

Thread '"WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
