### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent textbook for a one, two, or three semester course in quantum mechanics
*by J***M on February 2, 2023*

I consider Barton Zwiebach’s “Mastering quantum mechanics” the best textbook on the market for a thorough undergraduate education in quantum mechanics. The book is intended for a three-semester course in quantum mechanics, but it can be easily used for one or two semester courses as well. I taught quantum mechanics at my home university for 15 years, and if “Mastering Quantum Mechanics” were available then it would have been my book of choice. The book is divided into three parts, Essentials, Theory, and Applications, with each part roughly intended for a one semester course. Unlike many multi-semester texts, the three parts overlap, with concepts introduced in the Essential part, returned to in the Theory part at a deeper level. For example, chapter 10 “Angular Momentum and Central Potentials” sits in part 1, while chapter 19, “Angular Momentum and Central Potentials, part II” is in part 2, where it explores the subject more abstractly through the algebra of angular momentum operators. The setup works nicely, since not all students will take all three parts. A student who may not be a physics major would still get a broad introduction to quantum mechanics from part 1 of the text. The self learner can also greatly profit from the book since Zwiebach’s online lectures are freely available and one can follow along carefully with this text. There are also a host of problems to work through, distributed in the text and at the end of each chapter. Zwiebach is a “master” of pedagogy. The book starts out with complex numbers and simple two state systems and gradually builds from there. With a simple example of a photon Zwiebach argues that quantum mechanics cannot be deterministic. Later on in chapter 16 Zwiebach “reverse engineers” one of the axioms of quantum mechanics, namely unitary time evolution, to give a lovely derivation of the Schrödinger Equation. Going further to chapter 17 the book beautifully explains how MRI machines work and in chapter 18 expertly explains the Bell Inequalities. There are many other examples like these. Even if their student days are passed, every professional physicist should have this book on their shelf. Full disclosure: I am a research affiliate at MIT where Zwiebach is a professor. I have also collaborated with Zwiebach on three research papers.
