This concise textbook introduces an innovative computational approach to quantum mechanics. Over the course of this engaging and informal book, students are encouraged to take an active role in learning key concepts by working through practical exercises. The book equips readers with some basic methodology and a toolbox of scientific computing methods, so they can use code to simulate and directly visualize how quantum particles behave. The important foundational elements of the wave function and the Schrödinger equation are first introduced, then the text gradually builds up to advanced topics including relativistic, open, and non-Hermitian quantum physics. This book assumes familiarity with basic mathematics and numerical methods, and can be used to support a two-semester advanced undergraduate course. Source code and solutions for every book exercise involving numerical implementation are provided in Python and MATLAB®, along with supplementary data. Additional problems are provided online for instructor use with locked solutions.

Sølve Selstø is Professor of Physics at Oslo Metropolitan University, Norway. His research focusses on computational and theoretical quantum physics. He teaches both physics and mathematics, and believes that understanding within science and mathematics predominantly emerges from working with and discussing real-world problems. Selstø has previously written an introductory textbook on numerical methods, which he believes are valuable for both their utility and their ability to make theory tangible.
