Advanced quantum mechanics

I was borrowing a 4th printing, and the only difference I noticed was an increase in page count by a few. Printing clarity is excellent and content looked complete upon checking a few dozen pages. This is in regard to ISBN 978-81-775-8916-0. It is a PearsonIN product.

This book already excellent for this area, about for this copy, page is qulity and clear reading.

No problems whatsoever, identical content as international version. But if you care about 'real' international one, reconsider buying it.

Pulled an old copy of this out from the TARDIS archives Saturday 23rd November 2013. Easy read to calm the nerves, but only managed to read the first half as had a family reunion and worlds to save, old and new. A good starter book on your journey to understanding Huon particles & Vortex Z-Neutrino energy. Please avoid the use of any tribophysical waveform macro-kinetic extrapolator when you start putting your knowledge into practical use though.

This book represents to a large degree an approach to quantum field theory that is now viewed as somewhat out of date. Modern textbooks and monographs in quantum field theory emphasize functional methods, the renormalization group, the operator product expansion, and topological field configurations. In addition, this book was published before the advent of the electroweak theory, and so readers will not get an introduction to this theory, nor to quantum chromodynamics, the gauge theory of the strong interactions. The only gauge theory actually treated in the book is quantum electrodynamics, although the author does not exploit the gauge invariance of this theory to its fullest potential in the book. For those readers who want learn quantum field theory, this book would probably not suffice, due to the above omissions. However, the book might still be used as a reference, and one that, as stated by the author, emphasizes the physics of quantum field theory. Covariant perturbation theory and Feynmam diagrams are given ample treatment. In addition, the author does not hesitate to employ symmetry considerations in the discussion of the transformation properties of the Dirac wave function and the quantized Dirac field. The spin-statistics theorem is not proven, but some plausible arguments as to its validity are given, dealing with the difficulty in constructing a quantum field theory for the electron that does not obey the Pauli exclusion principle. And, as another example of the avoidance of complicated mathematics, the author chooses to discuss the Moller interaction between two electrons using the (noncovariant) Coulomb gauge. In this strategy, the transverse part of the vector potential is treated dynamically, and the electron interaction consists of the interaction of the transverse electromagnetic field with the Dirac current and the instantaneous Coulomb interaction between charge densities. Only the transverse part of the vector potential is quantized, but interestingly, the nonphysical, longitudinal parts cancell out in the calculation of the amplitude. This approach may be distasteful from a modern gauge-invariant point of view, but it does suffice to bring out the physics of the problem, and it does serve to motivate the modern approach to the calculation of the Moller cross-section. Thus, this might still serve to build insight into the physics of quantum field theory. Too often modern texts emphasize the mathematical formalism, the latter becoming more and more formidable as the years go on. The chapter on covariant perturbation theory is definitely worth some amount of time because of this. The reader can then move on to the magnificent fortresses built by the theoreticians of quantum field theory since this book was published. Quantum field theory is definitely still a very active subject, and there are lots of things in the theory that remain unsolved to this day.

This book arrived before due-date. It is in good condition and I am very much satisfied with it. Thank you.

It is a classical book in quantum mechanics...

It is good book on kind of Quantum field theory.

I had to approach the study of QFT and this book was extremely useful as an introduction to the course.

The book not only goes into details of applications and theory, it also goes deep into philosophical discussion over various interpretations of terms. It doesn't have any prerequisite except non-relativistic quantum physics but familiarity with second quantization can be really helpful.

Buen libro, queda mucho por leer

この本はJ.J.Sakuraiが書いた、場の量子論の標準的参考書である。この本を読む前にJ.J.Sakuraiの「Modern Quantum Mechanics」を読むことをお勧めする。なぜなら、本書では（非相対論的）量子力学を十分に理解している事を前提に書かれているからである。本書の最大の特色は、具体的例がとにかく豊富であることであろう。そのため、各章ごとに演習問題があるが、本書を読み、途中計算を自分で拾っていくだけでもかなりの力がつくはずである。この本を読めば、場の量子論の成功と、その成功にもかかわらず解決されない問題（電子の自己エネルギーの発散など）が理解できるだろう。

More than perfect. They say I have to write other 17 words, but I can only repeat: more than perfect.
