F. Schwabl, Quantum Mechanics
Concise, well-organized, clear exposition.
C. Cohen-Tannoudji, B. Diu and F. Laloe, Quantum Mechanics
Massive, strong on both fundamentals and applications, excellent for
self-study.
L.D. Landau and E.M. Lifschitz, Quantum Mechanics (Non-relativistic
theory)
Practical and fundamental, with many applications and worked problems.
G. Baym, Lectures on Quantum Mechanics
Informal but sophisticated, very readable, with many applications.
J.J. Sakurai, Modern Quantum Mechanics
Written by a high-energy theorist, tilted toward the algebraic approach.
Nice choice of examples.
L.I. Schiff, Quantum Mechanics
A ``standard" old-fashioned graduate textbook. Contains a lot of material
and has a good table of contents.
E. Merzbacher, Quantum Mechanics
Another ``standard" graduate text, with the slant of a nuclear theorist.
Strong on scattering theory.
A third edition came out in 1997.
H.A. Bethe and R. Jackiw, Intermediate Quantum Mechanics
Atomic structure, interaction with radiation, and scattering theory,
beyond the usual introductory topics.
R. Shankar, Principles of Quantum Mechanics
Holds the student's hand, verbose, mostly elementary, but has
some very nice modern applications.
D.J. Griffiths, Introduction to Quantum Mechanics
A very well written modern undergraduate text, neatly organized
and lucid.
P.A.M. Dirac, Principles of Quantum Mechanics
An elegant classic.
R.P. Feynman, The Feynman Lectures on Physics, vol. III
A ``beginning undergraduate" text offering insights that keep professors
coming back.
A. Messiah, Quantum Mechanics
Strong on the formal and mathematical aspects of the theory.
J. Preskill, Lecture
Notes on Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Computation
Notes from a Cal. Tech. course. Includes a nice introduction to the
fundamentals of QM.
M. Abramowitz and I. Stegun, Handbook of Mathematical Functions
Indispensable for special functions...in the days before Mathematica.
Gradshteyn and Ryzhik: Table of Integrals, Series, and Products
The best.
