Mathematical Customer –
Excellent undergraduate quantum mechanics book. The only thing I regret about is that in the new edition some interesting topics like Berry phase and quantum statistical mechanics are removed.
Ajeet Gary –
The author is great, he’s clear and witty. However the problems aren’t all really doable with what they tell you, that is, they don’t give you enough explanation in the text to be able to solve problems. My classmates and I keep finding ourselves with no idea how to proceed on problems it gives, even if we’ve read over the text for that chapter several times.

Griffiths is second only to Jim Baggott in explaining QM without dropping the essential math. But Griffiths goes a lot deeper. I already have the Second Edition but couldn’t resist this update; at an age where re-reading books doesn’t seem like a great idea anymore this is one I’m looking forward to curling up with.
Griffiths’ rigorous treatments are clear and compelling but you don’t need a doctorate to read and enjoy.

Well, if you have planned to read only one Book in your life on QM, you should read it. I have a large collection of books on QM and I have read them as well, I can safely say that this is the best not in terms of topic coverage which is obviously too short, but in terms of clarity it offers on each of the topics it covered. It covers only basics, but that too exceptionally well. Each line in this text have been written so carefully that it deserves the praise. I must say Professor Griffiths has done exceptional work here. Symmetry part is well presented.

The negative reviews are surprising to me. Griffiths’s quantum mechanics is a spectacularly straightforward approach to a complicated subject matter, with troves of information. Problems are laid out to often give you *precisely* what you need to solve a problem (for example, there was even a reminder on how to complete the square to simplify the integral on one problem). Seems possibly mean to say, but if the math is too hard, you need more math. This is quantum mechanics, not introductory Newtonian mechanics.
Ezio A. Menichetti –
Good introductory text. This new edition is quite improved and enlarged, still conforming to the usual mix of math + conceptual wich is a trademark of Griffiths. Very good.

Je veux apprendre la Théorie quantique des Champs et j’ai du commencer par réviser la mécanique Quantique ; cet ouvrage est absolument remarquable , pédagogiquement une merveille
John Heath –
Used this for sophomore physics at Caltech. This book is mostly how I learned quantum mechanics, and it was really helpful, although many of the main results are for YOU to prove.

Excelente Libro para un primer curso a la mecánica cuántica. Muy pedagógico y con excelente calidad de impresión en comparación a los denominados “print on demand”.

The subject of Quantum theory is never easy to assimilate. Several readings and multiple books references provides the first gist for the thought mill to begin churning to the next stage. In perusing the major content of the book, I have only crossed the rubicon and need to go miles. However, the subject in influential in the era when quantum computing is knocking at the door and a book connecting the dots between physics with implied purity of thoughts and engineering where thoughts are distilled is required. This book does not serve the latter nor is it intended. Time worth spent. Yet miles to go,

Timeliness appreciated.
Luis D –
Es un buen libro para aprender el formalismo de la mecánica cuántica, así cómo las repercuciones físicas. Por otro lado, si quieres algo más platicado donde te cuenten los experimentos, quizá este no sea tu libro.
Wiley P. Kirk –
Very well written book
Alba Cortés –
Es un buen libro introductorio para alguien que sabe lo suficiente de física y matemática
Gustavo Jimenez –
En los personal, ese libro es uno de los mejores para estudiar la mecánica cuantica desde cero, viene bastante claro el contenido, vale la pena invertir en el libro.
Samuel Chen –
I am currently a research in quantum computing. This book is the text I used when I was in physics undergraduate program. This book is simply awesome. It introduced important concepts clearly and did not overwhelmed reader with too many advanced topics. I recommend all serious students do all the problems on this book.
zxiao –
The book is really useful and understandable.
Nicklaus –
Really Good Book, not very deep in terms of content, but serves as a fantastic introduction to the topic. Recommended.
Learner –
Griffiths’ textbook is definitely the best one among numerous introductions to Quantum Mechanics. The 3rd edtion is still worth to buy, as Griffiths adds up two more chapters, a couple of sections, and nearly (maybe) 100 new promblems.
“loquacitor” –
This book provides a nominal textbook coverage of QM for undergrads. Explanations are fairly clear and has some example problems. A little weak on EPR observables and correlation.

Just migrants. Which means is good for learning science.
Claire –
she doesn’t like the illustration on the back but she and I both find the content very well-written and the author has an accessible style and good sense of humor. definitely recommend books by this author. just don’t show the back cover to a cat lover.
Stanislav Ershov –
This book is very good for the first course in Quantum Mechanics. Students who are already familiar with QM will find the problemset to be useful – it introduces a lot of interesting concepts, even some ideas behind field quantization in QFT are mentioned in it.
Also contains a nice chapter about the meaning of QM, including Bell inequality and other things. I think it’s a good introduction into philosophy of the subject. But it mostly takes Copenhagen viewpoint. Many-worlds interpretation is hardly mentioned, which I think is a huge mistake even in the introduction to the subject, as I personally think that this interpretation contains a lot of deep insight into wave function collapse, even if many-worlds interpretation is not the final word on the subject.

Ordered the third edition but received the second edition..but the book is awesome. Printing is too good and the page quality of this publishing is very good…Coming to the contents….covers all the topics of quantum mechanics and well defined topics with so much examples and problems. I would recommend this to every student who will study quantum mechanics. For greater understanding one can also go for Quantum Mechanics by Zettilli.
Krishaan –
Expensive but a must have.
Leonel Bixano –
El libro contiene todo lo que un curso introductorio de mecánica cuántica tiene que tener, Griffiths sabe enseñar todo eso sin descuidar el nivel de libro para los estudiantes.
La calidad del libro es muy buena, es pasta dura y con hojas premium.
prachi –
In my opinion it is one of the must “to be read” books on Quantum Mechanics at grad level. The writing style is unique and I like the more mathematical approach to understanding QM. The Cambridge edition came in good packaging 🙂
Lazarus Shade –
There is a bit of a learning curve, so before getting into this, go back over concepts like the photoelectric effect, blackbody radiation, and the introductory equations for photons and quantum physics.
Also look into Gaussian distribution, as there are a lot of examples.
Kosala Sananthana –
One of the best books recommended for an introduction to QM.
Max –
Introduction to Quantum Mechanics, along with Griffiths’ other magnificent piece: Introduction to Electrodynamics; together, are two of the best undergraduate textbooks available.
Professor Griffiths’ approach in this one is pretty mathematical, though he doesn’t ever sacrifice conceptual reasoning for mathematical sophistication. Everything he says is perpetuated with concise explanations and purpose. What I find most remarkable is how Griffiths’ seems to know the reader personally; offering derivations or further explanation at the perfect time. The problem sets are not easy, for the most part. There is hardly any hand-holding, and solutions to the problems (written by Griffiths himself) are available online as PDFs.
As the third edition of this text, it is very modern. There is no worry of stumbling across outdated information. The overall visual presentation is pretty standard, but clean. The diagrams are always very helpful. The one (albeit minor) complaint I have is the deficit of example problems. There is usually only one per section, and I think some sections could certainly use more. Regardless, I would recommend this book to anyone with a foundation of multivariable calculus, some DE, and— of course— the classical mechanics prerequisite. It would probably be a good idea to know your vector calculus as well as electrodynamics.
Angela E Porter –
A nice book but way beyond my level!! I will return 😉
Samuel Schoenenberger –
Griffith does a great job introducing this difficult subject in an interesting way, not devoid of humor or humanity, as commonly done in other university textbooks. Calling some of those formulas Hieroglyphs and expressing the rage over the ridiculousness of some conventions of Physics etc. compliments the learning experience and reminds one of the fact that the people writing books and exams and finding all the ridiculously complicated formulas and solutions are also humans, humans that should be respected for their hard work and achievements.
It guides the reader through the complicated, nightmare-inducing math well as long as one has sufficient groundwork in calculus, linear algebra, and Physics.
Good job Griffith Sensei
Vaghela Vivek –
Of course, Griffiths is a world-class author.I am so impressed by the quality of packing and cover. The cover is so rigid, and it looks beautiful, thick and white pages, believe me, more beautiful than your girlfriend. Awesome material…
Karla Cecilia Rodríguez Dìaz –
Llegó en buenas condiciones y está muy bonito
Anupam Shaw –
Since it’s a textbook authored by David J. Griffiths and Darrell F. Schroeter, there are no words to describe this amazing book. This is an introduction to the subject of quantum mechanics but it’ll be useful if one reads a bit of quantum theory from typical Modern Physics texts.Coming to the quality of the material of the book, it’s the best quality of pages I’ve seen so far in an international edition! The binding is also strong. Thank you Cambridge University Press for not downgrading the quality when published in India unlike other publishers such as Pearson or Wiley.
Jhih-Jheng Ke –
This book is very suitable as a textbook, but its writing style is not suitable for self-study. It needs to combine with the teacher’s detailed formula deduction in the classroom to compliment the author’s lack of deduction details, but this does not affect the value of this book as an introduction to beginners. This book is consistent in spirit in the deduction of harmonic oscillations and angular momentum, and at the same time has a good explanation of Dirac notation. This is of great help to students who study quantum chemistry but want to further understand quantum mechanics. Traditionally, quantum chemistry is more focus on wave functions than matrix mechanics, but the principles of molecular spectroscopy and the application of computational chemistry (such as NMR and DFT), Dirac notation and density matrix are too important. Dirac notation is often a major obstacle for students with chemistry background.
It is recommended to read with R. Shankar’s book.
Andrei Ratiu –
The textbook is an easy read while covering in a certain depth such a famously difficult subject. The theoretical explanations are short and to the point and the mathematical concepts are explained perfectly well, without taking the reader’s focus away from the physical interpretation. The exercises are quite challenging but solving them supplements the understanding in a beautiful way and gives a good feeling of satisfaction of one’s progress. Highly recommend it!
Pritam D. –
For Introduction it’s good (but not best)! You should read it atleast once! The problems are very good for building your concepts in a more tight manner (but in Indian education system I those are not that much relevant for any kind of competitive exam, you can ignore problems if you wish but try understand every example)!
Condition of the book was 👍

Es como me esperaba.

Best for the Quantum Mechanics concept. Just go for it you will not regret .
yashraj –
It’s almost a year now since i bought this book and i can say that it’s really a master piece for the rookies like me. I strongly recommend this book if you really want to conquer the fear of Quantum physics and really want to enjoy the subject.
Bipin Kumar –
This book contains all the basic concept to get started into the quantum world. It takes our journey to a bit advanced level. The author has really a good taste of throwing scientific knowledge to the audience.
Really appreciable.
