A Computational Introduction to Quantum Physics

'This book provides a well-written and carefully structured course on computational quantum mechanics, and its many exercises, with provided solutions, facilitate active learning both of physics and of numerical computing … This book will be very useful for undergraduate and graduate students interested in adopting modern methodologies for their learning by applying computational resources to intermediate to advanced quantum mechanical concepts.' Christian Hill, author of Learning Scientific Programming with Python (2nd ed., 2020) and Python for Chemists (2023)

'Selstø's book is an outstanding introduction to the world of quantum mechanics from a practical and computational, yet rigorous and comprehensive, perspective. For a student, the book is highly engaging, approachable, and it provides an exceptional pool of pedagogically guided exercises. I would highly recommend this book for teachers and students, as both a coursebook and self-study material.' Esa Räsänen, Tampere University

'This book takes the reader from the basics of quantum theory to the core of a range of topics that define the research front of quantum-based sciences. It is an easy-to-read, modern text, with illustrative examples and problems of an analytical and numerical nature. I would recommend the book for any intermediate quantum mechanics course!' Jan Petter Hansen, University of Bergen

'This book presents, delightfully, a large number of practical tasks on both foundational topics and modern applications, with code provided online. More than a collection of exercises, yet less than a complete monograph, this feels like a workbook, in that the text screams out to be worked through … Students of quantum physics who wish to see what the abstract formalism implies in practice are in for a treat.' Alexandros Gezerlis, University of Guelph

'I think the projects are excellent and will help students understand the topics.' Morgan Besson, Villanova University
