Overview: Offers a powerful new approach to teaching quantum physics for the quantum information age.Contains a large collection of problems, with detailed solutions available at https://users.physics.ox.ac.uk/.This textbook is intended to accompany a two-semester course on quantum mechanics for physics students. Along with the traditional material covered in such a course (states, operators, Schrödinger equation, hydrogen atom), it offers in-depth discussion of the Hilbert space, the nature of measurement, entanglement, and decoherence – concepts that are crucial for the understanding of quan
