The eleventh printing of this renowned book confirms its status as a classic. The book presents major advances in fundamentals of quantum physics from 1927 to the present. No familiarity with relativistic quantum mechanics or quantum field theory is presupposed; however, the reader is assumed to be familiar with non-relativistic quantum mechanics, classical electrodynamics, and classical mechanics. The author's clear presentation focuses on key concepts, particularly experimental work in the field.

J.J. Sakurai （1933-1982），一位杰出的物理学家。1933年生于东京，1955年毕业于美国哈佛大学，1958年在康乃尔大学获得博士学位。在康乃尔大学学习期间，独立地发现了弱相互作用的V-A（矢量减轴矢量）理论。1959年在芝加哥大学任助理教授，1964年升为正教授。1970年加入到美国加州大学洛杉矶分校物理系。曾任斯隆研究员（1962-1966），美国物理学会高级成员（1964-1982），古根海姆研究员（1975-1976），以及洪堡研究员（1981-1982）。1982年死于瑞士日内瓦。著有《高等量子力学》（1967）和《现代量子力学》（1985）。
