Quantum Mechanics (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.

Vol. 1

 * I. Waves and particles. Introduction to the ideas of quantum mechanics
 * II. Mathematical tools of quantum mechanics
 * III. The postulates of quantum mechanics
 * IV. Applications of the postulates to simple cases: Spin 1/2 and two-level systems
 * V. The one dimensional harmonic oscillator
 * VI. General properties of angular momentum in quantum mechanics
 * VII. Particle in a central potential: the hydrogen atom

Vol. 2
