In the proven didactic manner, the textbook then covers the classical scope of introductory quantum mechanics, namely simple two-level systems, the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator, the quantized angular momentum and particles in a central potential. The entire book has been revised to take into account new developments in quantum mechanics curricula. The textbook retains its typical style also in the new edition: it explains the fundamental concepts in chapters which are elaborated in accompanying complements that provide more detailed discussions, examples and applications. * The quantum mechanics classic in a new edition: written by 1997 Nobel laureate Claude Cohen-Tannoudji and his colleagues Bernard Diu and Franck Laloë * As easily comprehensible as possible: all steps of the physical background and its mathematical representation are spelled out explicitly * Comprehensive: in addition to the fundamentals themselves, the book contains more than 350 worked examples plus exercises Claude Cohen-Tannoudji was a researcher at the Kastler-Brossel laboratory of the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris where he also studied and received his PhD in 1962. In 1973 he became Professor of atomic and molecular physics at the Collège des France. His main research interests were optical pumping, quantum optics and atom-photon interactions. In 1997, Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, together with Steven Chu and William D. Phillips, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his research on laser cooling and trapping of neutral atoms. Bernard Diu was Professor at the Denis Diderot University (Paris VII). He was engaged in research at the Laboratory of Theoretical Physics and High Energy where his focus was on strong interactions physics and statistical mechanics. Franck Laloë was a researcher at the Kastler-Brossel laboratory of the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris. His first assignment was with the University of Paris VI before he was appointed to the CNRS, the French National Research Center. His research was focused on optical pumping, statistical mechanics of quantum gases, musical acoustics and the foundations of quantum mechanics. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 6.9 x 1.8 x 9.9 inches | | Edition | 2nd | | Isbn 10 | 3527345531 | | Isbn 13 | 978-3527345533 | | Item Weight | 7.6 ounces | | Language | English | | Print Length | 944 pages | | Publication Date | December 11, 2019 | | Publisher | Wiley-VCH | ## Images ![Quantum Mechanics, Volume 1: Basic Concepts, Tools, and Applications - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/615fO5SBSZL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Pleasant Surprise in the Binding *by on Reviewed in the United States June 11, 2020* The two quantum mechanics books by Cohen-Tannoudji, Diu and Laloe have been gold standards for many years; just ask any physicist. These books have been among the most important reference works in my personal library, and I have turned to them again and again over the years. I was therefore pleasantly surprised to see that the books had been updated and expanded into three volumes. Without hesitation, I immediately ordered all three.The only issue that concerned me----and this is why I am writing this review----is the fact that the new volumes are labeled "hardbound." Readers of the first edition will recall that those books, too, were often listed as "hardbound" when in fact the covers were merely thick cardboard. Because of the soft binding, volume 1, a large book of over 900 pages, did not fare well under frequent usage; my first edition volume 1 is now held together with shipping tape.I was therefore pleased when I received volume 1 of the second edition and saw that it is, indeed, hardbound. It is also beautifully typeset and printed on very high quality paper. This is how a canonical reference book of 900+ pages SHOULD be produced.I thought that many of my fellow users of the first edition would be comforted by the knowledge that the new edition is actually hardbound, not covered in cardboard. It will now take some time to study the material that is new to the second edition and compare it to the first, but I have very high confidence in this team of authors and I feel confident that the purchase will be well worth the price. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you love maths as I do, this book is for you. *by on Reviewed in the United States December 30, 2021* Just love it. Got it today, and already went to a chapter re-doing the calculations just for the fun. Incredible book. Imagine....800 pages of fun !! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible. *by on Reviewed in the United States November 20, 2020* Comprehensive and thorough, it's excellent for both self-learning and as a reference. This version is printed and bound beautifully. Definitely recommend the whole set (especially the new vol. 3) ## Frequently Bought Together - Quantum Mechanics, Volume 1: Basic Concepts, Tools, and Applications - Quantum Mechanics, Volume 2: Angular Momentum, Spin, and Approximation Methods - Quantum Mechanics, Volume 3: Fermions, Bosons, Photons, Correlations, and Entanglement --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/168502853-quantum-mechanics-volume-1-basic-concepts-tools-and-applications](https://www.desertcart.it/products/168502853-quantum-mechanics-volume-1-basic-concepts-tools-and-applications) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-09-11*
