The Sword and Laser discussion

I've recently been reading some things on quantum physics and quantum mechanics and I'm looking for a recommendation for a good starter text. I have a BS in Aero/Astro Engineering (lots of physics) and have studied Einsteinian physics quite a bit so I have a enough background to understand fairly technical material.

I had though Neil deGrasse Tyson might be a good place to look for such a recommendation but most of his material is related toward astrophysics since that's his field.

Does anyone have any good recommendations?
Thanks. :)

I can't say it's a good recommendation because I haven't read it (yet), but I've heard good things about Dance of the Photons From Einstein to Quantum Teleportation by Anton Zeilinger.

I have watched Mr. Zeilinger give a presentation to the Dalai Lama (as part of the Mind & Life Dialogues)on the double slit experiment and quantum computing/quantum information (q-bits) which was quite fascinating.

I have both Dr. Richard Feynman's Six Easy Pieces: Essentials of Physics By Its Most Brilliant Teacher and the Six Not-So-Easy Pieces: Einstein's Relativity, Symmetry, and Space-Time.

I would recommend both as a good source of study. The text is not dry and is very informative as well as written by one of the leading names in science.

the quantum thief is a great book the writer has a phd in physics so it has alot of science in it

The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas S. Kuhn isn't technical physics, but it offers a lot of insight on the way the scientific community goes about its business. Kuhn, though an incredibly sharp left brain, writes in masterful prose to great literary effect. It's technical but thoughtful. It's not a novel. My professor called it "literary nonfiction".

Thanks all. Much appreciated. :)
