The late J.J. Sakurai, noted theorist in particle physics, was born in Tokyo, Japan in 1933. He received his B.A. from Harvard University in 1955 and his PhD from Cornell University in 1958. He was appointed as an assistant professor at the University of Chicago, where he worked until he became a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles in 1970. Sakurai died in 1982 while he was visiting a professor at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland.
Jim Napolitano earned an undergraduate Physics degree at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1977, and a PhD in Physics from Stanford University in 1982. Since that time, he has conducted research in experimental nuclear and particle physics, with an emphasis on studying fundamental interactions and symmetries. He joined the faculty at Rensselaer in 1992 after working as a member of the scientific staff at two different national laboratories. He is author and co-author of over 150 scientific papers in refereed journals.
Professor Napolitano maintains a keen interest in science education in general, and in particular physics education at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. He has published a textbook, co-authored with Adrian Melissinos, on Experiments in Modern Physics. Prior to his work on Modern Quantum Mechanics,Second Edition, he has taught both graduate and upper-level undergraduate courses in Quantum Mechanics, as well as an advanced graduate course in Quantum Field Theory.
This best-selling classic provides a graduate-level, non-historical, modern introduction of quantum mechanical concepts. The author, J. J. Sakurai, was a renowned theorist in particle theory. This revision by Jim Napolitano retains the original material and adds topics that extend the text’s usefulness into the 21st century. The introduction of new material, and modification of existing material, appears in a way that better prepares the student for the next course in quantum field theory. You will still find such classic developments as neutron interferometer experiments, Feynman path integrals, correlation measurements, and Bell’s inequality. The style and treatment of topics is now more consistent across chapters.
The Second Edition has been updated for currency and consistency across all topics and has been checked for the right amount of mathematical rigor.

前三章太過驚艷,二次閱讀量子力學的最佳體驗。行文思路十分“物理”,與經典力學密不可分。太美瞭。區彆於一般教材的大綱設計,這書從斯特恩-蓋拉赫實驗講起,類比於光極化提齣SG實驗的波函數錶示。然後引入狄拉剋符號,通過設立行之有效的規則,繼而對一係列SG實驗進行瞭量子...
評分本科的時候,教我們量子力學的是一個叫柯善哲的老頭,他幾乎是我見過最差的物理老師瞭。思路不清,講法混沌,讓我徹底迷茫瞭。唯一值得稱道的是他會在考試前告訴你考試題目然後大傢快快樂樂的考完這門本來應該很費腦筋的考試。 好在畢業以後,碰到瞭這本sakurai的量子力學書。...
評分這是一本非常優秀的量子力學教科書,深度上正好屬於高等量子力學範疇,習題非常豐富、精巧。 如書中“推薦”所說,這本書是在教大傢“以量子力學的方式思考”。一開始從斯特恩-格拉赫實驗和自鏇物理量齣發,非常富有現代氣息。在這裏,sakurai高屋建瓴,先通過S-G實驗嚮我們宣...

評分之前聽到的對sakurai的評論 一是數學相對嚴謹,一是notation十分糟糕。 目前剛讀瞭一章 數學確實是不錯的,至少每次齣現無窮的時候,都區分瞭可數無窮和不可數無窮。 Notation也確實是糟糕的,有a撇撇點乘a撇撇撇這種東西的存在.... 但是這本書最齣彩的還是它的物理concept ...

評分Chapters by Sakurai (1-3, maybe 4) are excellent while Napolitano's edited version is mostly terrible: 7-page and still incomplete errata, and many vague derivations and explanations. Some updates on experiment results are useful, though.
