A Quantum Mechanics course I am taking is dumping a lot of material on us in a very short time. It's difficult to talk to the professor, and the only assigned class notes are PowerPoint slides which are not clear. So I am looking for a textbook that I can use to teach myself the material.
In our last lecture we were introduced to the following concepts, I would like a text that covers these as well:
For the quantum mechanics work we had previously done, we were mostly working from Griffiths, so that is the level of understanding I am coming from.
In our last lecture we were introduced to the following concepts, I would like a text that covers these as well:
- Relation between angular momentum algebra and the algebra of independent oscillators
- Something about how the ladder operators for the harmonic oscillator relates to creation and annihilation operators for bosons (not sure what the latter means)
- Number states
- Coherent states
- Squeeze states
- Squeezed coherent states
- Pure and mixed states
- Entanglement
- Reduced density operator + density operator
- Quantum teleportation
