Advanced Quantum Mechanics

by J.J. Sakurai

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.

this book was too advanced for me at the time, so it was slow going. it's not bad, though. just read the griffiths one first.

this includes relativistic quantum mechanics, which griffiths doesn't touch.

Excellent textbook - very readable - use it frequently as a resource.

Really good book. Well presented and interesting. This serves as a good introduction to QFT.
