Chemistry 793
QUANTUM MECHANICS I
Fall 2000
BIBLIOGRAPHY
The two volumes of Cohen-Tannoudji [1] are key references for this course
and for Chem 794. Sakurai [2], Atkins [3] and Weissbluth [4] are also useful
references.
Bohm [5], Liboff [6], Dirac [7], Landau & Lifshitz [8], Messiah [9] and Schiff
[10] are some other standard physics texts on QM. Pauling & Wilson [11],
Eyring, Walter & Kimball [12], Levine [13], Schatz & Ratner [14] and Simons
& Nichols [15] emphasize chemical applications of QM.
For classical mechanics, see Goldstein [16], Percival & Richards [17] and José
& Saletan [18].
For angular momentum theory, see Zare [19].
For path integrals, see Feynman [20], Feynman & Hibbs [21], and Schulman
[22].
Bohm [5] and Liboff [6] have good discussions of WKB theory.
Useful books on mathematical methods for QM are Margenau & Murphy
[23], Arfken [24] and Boas [25].
Modern results on the problem of the interpretation of quantum mechanics
are surveyed in the very readable book by Omnès [26].
All the books below are on reserve in the PSL, Clark Hall.
