Quantum Theory of Many-Particle Systems by Alexander L. Fetter, John Dirk Walecka Self-contained treatment of nonrelativistic many-particle systems discusses both formalism and applications in terms of ground-state (zero-temperature) formalism, finite-temperature formalism, canonical transformations, and applications to physical systems. 1971 edition.
Quantum Mechanics of Particles and Wave Fields by Arthur March A complete explanation of quantum mechanics, from early non-relativistic formulation to complex field theories used extensively in theoretical research, this volume assumes no specialized knowledge. 1951 edition.
Elementary Nuclear Theory: Second Edition by Hans A. Bethe, Philip Morrison Suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students, this compact treatment of basic theory of nuclear forces, structures, and reactions is based on familiar results of nonrelativistic quantum theory. 1956 edition.
Applications of Group Theory in Quantum Mechanics by M. I. Petrashen, J. L. Trifonov This advanced text explores the theory of groups and their matrix representations. The main focus rests upon point and space groups, with applications to electronic and vibrational states. 1969 edition.
Quantum Field Theory by Jean-Bernard Zuber, Claude Itzykson This comprehensive text begins with the standard quantization of electrodynamics and perturbative renormalization, advancing to functional methods, relativistic bound states, broken symmetries, nonabelian gauge fields, and asymptotic behavior. 1980 edition.
Nuclear Shell Theory by Amos de-Shalit, Igal Talmi Comprehensive graduate-level text explores modern methods related to the nuclear shell, particularly techniques of spectroscopy. Features simplified mathematics and an emphasis on the physical content of the formalism. 1963 edition.
Theoretical Mechanics of Particles and Continua by Alexander L. Fetter, John Dirk Walecka Lucid, self-contained account provides natural framework for the introduction of advanced mathematical concepts in physics. Topics include Lagrangian dynamics, Hamiltonian dynamics, fluids and sound and surface waves, more. 1980 edition.
Quantum Mechanics by Albert Messiah Subjects include formalism and its interpretation, analysis of simple systems, symmetries and invariance, methods of approximation, elements of relativistic quantum mechanics, much more. "Strongly recommended." — American Journal of Physics.
Quantum Theory by David Bohm This advanced undergraduate-level text presents the quantum theory in terms of qualitative and imaginative concepts, followed by specific applications worked out in mathematical detail.
