Quantum Mechanics (French: Méchanique quantique), often called the Cohen-Tannoudji, is a standard graduate-level quantum mechanics textbook written originally in French by Nobel laureate in Physics Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, Bernard Diu and Franck Laloë; in 1973. The first edition was published by Collection Enseignement des Sciences in Paris, and was translated to English by Wiley.
The book was originally divided in two volumes. A third volume was published in 2017. The chapters are divided between the main topics, and complements with supplementary calculations for each chapter.
