What is the Best Book for Understanding Quantum Physics in Depth?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding a comprehensive book that covers significant topics in quantum physics, including string theory, spin, and superconductivity. The user seeks a resource that delves deeply into these subjects rather than providing a superficial overview, as they aim to grasp the complex discussions often encountered in advanced physics. They express a solid foundation in mathematics and a basic understanding of quantum mechanics, questioning whether an A* in A-levels is sufficient for tackling such material. The conversation highlights the anticipation of a new book by Leonard Susskind on quantum mechanics, suggesting it may be a valuable resource for those looking to deepen their understanding of the field. However, there is a sentiment that no single book currently meets the demand for a thorough exploration of quantum mechanics.

a book that covers from string fields to spin to superconductor property, well... does not have to be all of them, but a book that would cover most popular thesis of quantum physics, most would be optimum but onnly the popular ones ie, super string
i don't acctually know much, well the basics of quantum mechanics, i have a good knowledge of maths, so i don't think it would be a problem, would an A* in a level be good enough?
i don't want something that only skimms the subjects becuase i never acctually learn anything from those, i want a book that goes a deep enough depth of the main thesis out there, i just want to understnad what the hell are those 2nd degree physisis are talking about, because for now, to me they are talking in another language, i don't need to have enough knowledge to be able to chat quantum physics with them, but i want to be able to understand

There is no good book on quantum mechanics.
 

Thread '"WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
