Andrew J. Larkoski is Acting Assistant Professor at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. He earned his Ph.D. from Stanford University and has held research appointments at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University, and he was also a Visiting Assistant Professor at Reed College. A leading expert on particle physics, he has published over fifty articles, and won the LHC Theory Initiative Fellowship and the Wu-Ki Tung Award for Early-Career Research on QCD. His previous textbook with Cambridge, Elementary Particle Physics: An Intuitive Introduction (2019), offers a modern and accessible introduction to the guiding principles of particle physics.

'This book is a refreshing and innovative addition to quantum mechanics teaching. It will help students build strong mathematical skills to rely on when studying this novel subject. Larkoski demystifies the subject and provides instructors with new ways to cover even the most canonical examples in quantum mechanics. I think it will also be a very useful companion for students learning quantum field theory.' Seyda Ipek, Carleton University, Ottawa
