Quantum Mechanics (French: Mécanique quantique), often called the Cohen-Tannoudji, is a series of standard ungraduate-level quantum mechanics textbook written originally in French by Nobel laureate in Physics Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, Bernard Diu [fr] and Franck Laloë; in 1973. The first edition was published by Collection Enseignement des Sciences in Paris, and was translated to English by Wiley.[1]

The book was originally divided into two volumes. A third volume was published in 2017.[2]

The book structure is notable for having an extensive set of complementary chapters, introduced along with a "reader's guide", at the end of each main chapter.[1]
