Quantum Theory Angular Momentum; Electronic version 2026

Abstract

This is an electronic version of the open source book "Quantum Theory of Angular Momentum" by D. A. Varshalovich, A. N. Moskalev, V. K. Khersonskii, original copyright o̧pyright} 1988 by World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd, with the CC-BY 4.0 open source ebook funded by SCOAP. We have made appropriate modifications for the modern age--such as python-based symbolic manipulators to replace algebraic and numeric the tables. The new version contains a number of small modification, even though it is close to the original, with additional indices, hyperlinking, redrawing of figures. There has been a substantial check of the results presented, supported by the use of AI, even though all mistakes are the author's responsibility. All material is available from the book's github site (https://github.com/nwalet/Varshalovich/), where new updated versions will also be presented.
