希尔伯特和柯朗的《数学物理方法》。

梁昆淼,郭敦仁和王竹溪的书

绿皮的《力学与热学》的上。热学选《力学与热学》的下。

赵凯华的《电磁学》。

赵凯华的《光学》,

朗道的《经典力学》。

郭硕鸿的《电动力学》就可以了,看

JACKSON的书需要很好的数学基础,关键是对位势形偏微分方程有相当的了解。

P.A.M DIRAC在1937年写过著名的《量子力学的原理》。

曾谨言的《量子力学I,II》和《量子力学习题集》。

有一本《Quan-tum Physics》对此详细地进行了讨论。

卢里的《粒子与场》。

如果对凝聚态理论感兴趣,你可以学统计力学。以朗道的书为上。

雷克老太太的《现代统计物理教程》。

黄昆的《固体物理》,这本书很好理解。

孙洪洲的《群论》就足够了。群论的内容大致是有限群和连续群两部份,前一部份和晶体的对称性直接相关,后一部份和角动量理论有关,学凝聚态的人做含有d或f电子的紧束缚方法时自然会用到。

马汉的《多粒子问题》(该有中译本了)或者

北大的《固体物理中格林函数方法》。

卡拉威的《固体理论》。

赵凯华的《光学》

量子光学的麻烦在于边界条件,一般量子场论的边界很简单,而量子光学就不是了。一个有限体系的量子光学性质是很有意思的问题。比如微腔中的光吸收和发射以及由此引申出的光子晶体中的若干问题。这里要分清光子晶体和人工电介质。光子晶体中存在量子效应,而人工电介质中没有。所以一个有三维人工周期机构工作在微波波段的陶瓷算不上光子晶体,只是人工电介质。

如果对核物理感兴趣,那我建议你多看看角动量理论或者群论的书。

实变函数和泛函分析的书最好的当属《REAL AND ABSTRACT ANALYSIS》

为了准备学微分几何,还要学一些拓朴和代数。

代数: 蓝以中的《高等代数教程》,

拓朴可以看《拓朴学基础》

陈维桓的《微分几何基础》

陈省身的《微分几何》了。

《数学物理中的微分形式》,

不过我建议找一本以特殊函数为工具,介绍李群的书。看过以后你就知道Bessel函数等那些在数理方法中学过的东西是何等重要。它们直接是对称性的反映,只不过那时你还小并没有认识这一点。学过这以后你知道量子力学真正关心的是什么了。原来量子力学做来做去是一种关于对称的理论。在这一理论中作为群的表示的基的波函数是次要的,而群本身和代表它的特征值才重要,而这些被物理量正是特征值。

融合量子论和广义相对论的方法,

” Advanced mathematical methods for scientists and engineers “,作者是Bender和Ozszag。是学习渐进方法(asymtotic 和 perturbation)的好书,从局部分析开始到全局分析,非常深入浅出

JACKSON Books need very good mathematical basis, the key is to position has considerable knowledge of partial differential equations.

P.A.M DIRAC 1937 Years wrote the famous principles of quantum mechanics.

Would like to speak of the quantum mechanics I , II And the quantum mechanics problem sets .

There is a copy of the Quan-tum Physics This is discussed in detail.

Lurie of the particle and field.

If interested in condensed matter theory, statistical mechanics you can learn. Landau’s book is on.

Lady Lake’s modern course in statistical physics.

Huang Kun of the solid state physics, this book is easy to understand.

Sun Hongzhou group theory, it is enough. Briefly, group theory is a finite group and group of two consecutive parts, front part and the symmetry of the Crystal is directly related to the latter part and angular momentum theory, condensed matter people doing d or f e’s tight-binding method will be used.

Mahan of the many-particle problem (the translation) or

North of the Green’s function methods in solid state physics .

Callaway of the solid state theory.

Zhao, kaihua’s optics

Trouble boundary condition in quantum optics, General boundary quantum field theory is very simple, and quantum optics are not. A quantum optical properties of finite system is a very interesting question. Such as micro-cavity light absorption and emission and hence the photon crystals in several issues. To distinguish artificial dielectric Photonic Crystal and here. There are quantum effects in Photonic crystals, and no artificial dielectric. So a three dimensional artificial cycle working ceramic not Photonic crystals in microwave band, just artificial dielectric.

If interested in nuclear physics, then I suggest that you look more angular momentum theory or group theory book.

Real variable function theory and functional analysis, the book is the best of the REAL AND ABSTRACT ANALYSIS 》

In order to prepare for the differential geometry, to learn some topology and algebra.

Algebra : Blue’s course in advanced algebra,

Topology can be seen the basis of topology

Chen Weihuan the fundamentals of differential geometry

Shiing-Shen Chern of the differential geometry.

Of the differential forms in mathematical physics,

But I would suggest looking for a special function as a tool, introduces the book of lie groups. Read, then you know Bessel functions, such as those in the mathematical methods learned how important it is. They directly reflect the symmetry of, but when you are young and do not realize it. Learned this after you know what quantum mechanics is of real concern. Quantum mechanics is a theory about the symmetry. In the theory of group representations of wave function of the base is less important, and the group itself and on behalf of its eigenvalues are important, and these are characteristic values of physical quantities.

Fusion methods of quantum theory and general relativity,
