Features: The course of advanced quantum mechanics is a fundamental subject for graduate students in physics. This book is based on the author's lecture notes used for nearly 20 years of teaching this course, with revisions made for the second edition. This revision primarily adds typical application techniques of quantum mechanics theory in specific problems and strengthens content to help readers improve their application skills. 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. It extensively employs 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 a deeper level 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.
