Modern Quantum Mechanics 3rd Edition

Best grad level QM text, this will bridge you to many further topics.

I purchased this textbook to use in a graduate-level introductory course on quantum mechanics and have so far found it to be a great book for taking a more in-depth "introduction" to the subject beyond the graduate level. I think that starting with the Dirac formulation of quantum mechanics as exemplified by spin is a better way to introduce the subject than beginning with wavefunctions and Sakurai/Napolitano do a great job of explaining the concepts for students of all levels.

AN EXCELLENT ADVANCED LEVEL COURSE FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS. REQUIRES WORK TO FOLLOW THE TEXT BUT WELL WORTH THE EFFORT. A GOOD REVIEW - ADVANCED LEVEL FOR 1ST GRADUATE SCHOOL LEVEL Q.M. COURSE. WORKS WELL WITH DIRAC'S TEXTBOOK.

The book is an excellent text on quantum mechanics.However, it arrived badly damaged, though still readable.

Typical physics textbook, can be confusing at times unless you've already learnt this elsewhere.

This book is a classic and the updates are nice!

Sakurai is a great book to lean a graduate-level quantum mechanics. As everyone knows, the book was not entirely written by Sakurai (only the first three chapters were completed), but completed by his friend and colleague Prof Tuan after Sakurai's untimely death. The first edition and revised version are very good. It contains absolutely enough modern materials for a typical quantum mechanics class such as the quantum measurement, quantum correlations, Bell inequalities etc. In brief, the third edition (a strange new co-author is added) is totally unneeded and has not made the book better!

This is a great QM textbook, but DO NOT BUY THE KINDLE VERSION. The equations are illegible.
