Recommended Quantum Mechanics Books

In the following we show you which quantum mechanics books we love. We also tell you for whom we think the respective books will be the best fit. After all, different books are suitable for an amateur scientist and a physics students. For more information about the details of the books, check our page with quantum physics book reviews.

We also link to Amazon where you can buy the books. This makes life easier for you, and we can make a small commission that allows us to keep this website free of charge even without donations. Here is the official affiliate disclosure:

Note that you pay the identical price when buying through our links, not a penny more. But you do help us. We only recommend books that we really find suitable. Your trust in us means everything to us. In the following, we order the books with increasing difficulty level, most difficult last.

Quantum Physics Books for Beginners – with Nearly No Formulas

The following books contain hardly any formulas. They are therefore suitable for all laymen interested in quantum physics. No strong math background needed!

Quantum Mechanics Books for Beginners – with Formulas

The following books do contain a lot of formulas. They are therefore suitable for layman or science amateurs that do not shy away when seeing formulas. They are also suitable for physics students. Note that Quantum Mechanics – The Theoretical Minimum could well be a first book for physics students, but does not contain everything a physics student has to learn. For example, perturbation theory is not covered.

Quantum Mechanics – The Theoretical Minimum

Quantum Physics Books for Physics Students

The following books are more complete with respect to topics, but also a bit harder to digest. We therefore recommend them primarily to physics students, not to the layman.

Quantum Mechanics, Vol. 1

Authors: Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, Bernard Diu, Frank Laloe
Language: English
Pages: 914
Dimensions: 6.7 x 1.4 x 9.5 inches

Check it out on Amazon

Quantum Mechanics, Vol. 2

Authors: Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, Bernard Diu, Frank Laloe
Language: English
Pages: 640
Dimensions: 6.8 x 1.3 x 9.5 inches

Check it out on Amazon

Quantum Mechanics – Two Volume Set

Book: Quantum Mechanics, Volume 2The two volume set can be cheaper than buying both volumes individually. It’s quite expensive, anyway.
