Features: This book is a recommended graduate teaching material by the Ministry of Education. Advanced Quantum Mechanics is a fundamental course for graduate students in physics majors. This book is based on the author's lecture notes from nearly 20 years of teaching this course, with revisions and additions. The book is divided into eight chapters: Hilbert Space, Theoretical Structure of Quantum Mechanics, Dirac Equation, Symmetry Theory, Angular Momentum Theory, Scattering Theory, Second Quantization, and Quantum Theory of Radiation. The content is rich, novel, and features a complete and rigorous theoretical structure with clear logical relationships, widely employing operator algebra methods. Starting from fundamental principles, the book provides rigorous explanations with accurate definitions, thorough analysis, and clear mathematical derivations. It also emphasizes the training and development of understanding and analytical skills. This book is easy to read and guides readers into deeper levels of quantum mechanics. It can serve as a textbook for physics majors in universities, especially for graduate students in theoretical physics, as well as a reference for physics teachers and researchers for desk reference.
