Books on Quantum Mechanics?

Posted by Cliff on Wednesday May 14, 2003 @06:18PM from the curiosity-MAY-have-killed-shrödinger's-cat dept.

manjunaths asks: "I would like to ask the physicists here to recommend some books on Quantum Mechanics. For those of us who have a decent background in calculus and have done some advanced physics (field theory, network theory etc.,). The books must have math as well as theoretical explanation. If it has examples which explain/relate to real world physics that would be really nice."

Six Easy/Not-So-Easy Pieces actually have very little quantum physics in them, but they do have a good deal on simple and relativistic mechanics, as well as symmetry and space-time. They are definitely both good reads, but probably not what you're looking for.
