Quantum mechanics textbooks of pedagogical value (containing good practice exercises)

Question

I am interested in pedagogical questions relating to rigorous (mathematical physics) quantum mechanics, so I'd like to find some textbooks containing great practice exercises.

Hi anirudh, welcome to PhysicsOverflow!

I have rephrased your question a little bit, to clarify its meaning. Also, while "questions" is quite vague, I think "problems" could mean "the book should be full of errors", so I changed it to "practice exercises".

And since you used the "mathematical physics" tag, I've also included rigour as a requirement. If you meant "mathematical physics" as something else, you may revert my change, but keep in mind, that PhysicsOverflow is a graduate-level+ site, so undergraduate-level QM is not accepted here (mathematically rigorous QM is usually graduate-level, and I guess this is what you are interested in).

Feel free to revert my edits, if you feel that they are inappropriate.

Answer 1

The best collection of mathematical problems in quantum mechanics in my opinion are in Landau and Lifschitz. There is a comprehensive list of exercises, including lots of interesting problems that don't appear in other texts, for example, a particle in an inverted harmonic oscillator. You can ignore the text if you like (although it's also great), the problems are all self-contained.
