/sci/ im trying to get into quantum information, so i want a good QM textbook, possibly one with a solution manual also. Can you name me some?

Also I have math up to ODE, Linear and Probability, If I need more math tools, what are they? So I could find text books for them too


In return I give you feynman, boobs and such

david griffiths intro to quantum mechanics is pretty much the canon beginners text for QM

griffiths if you're retarded

you need some group theory and perturbation theory. make sure you have a foundation in hamiltonian mechanics and electrodynamics (incl. gauge invariance)

also, landau lifshitz is decent but do not use their text as a sole guide.

[OP No.4614072]

>>4614067
not a physicist, so I'll start at retard level

[OP No.4614084]

ok so hamiltonian dynamics, pertubation theory, group theory. so far they are only names to me, but i guess i should put this on the list?

...what sort of physics do you know?

have you taken any complex analysis/complex variables? get rudin if you haven't.

if you just have odes and no other physics, you should really just start at the feynman lectures, then do thorton for mechanics, then landau lifshitz for electrodynamics.

after this, you have the 'power level' to move onto qm.

basic mechanics. electromagnetism - electrostatics, and mostly with time harmonic fields, waveguides, rigor in finding modes from bessel's functions and boring things of that nature. some wave phenomenon and solid state principles. fourier analysis also. but no formal course in complex variables. do i have a shot?

Feynman went to a strip joint?
And Sagan smoked weed err'day.

If that were true, you'd post images at a resolution we could actually read.

Captcha agrees. Magnificent indeed. I don't even know if you're Scottish.

You need applied math books, like these. Pure math books have too much fluff.

More math tools: Partial differential equations, complex analysis.

Depending on what you did in linear, you'll like some functional analysis.

Moreover, and before everything else, you need to become VERY familiar with multivariable calculus.

Also, for quantum information, you'll want some computer-science related mathematics as well, such as graph theory, etc.
