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 '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)...
