Quantum Advanced-undegrad/junior post-grad books on QM mathematics

AI Thread Summary
Recommendations for advanced texts and notes on quantum mechanics (QM) that provide a deeper understanding than standard introductory materials include works that focus on the mathematical foundations and theoretical aspects of QM. Suggested resources should ideally mirror the depth and clarity of Nielsen and Chuang's "Quantum Computation" while also being accessible. The discussion highlights the need for materials that cover topics such as positive operator-valued measures (POVMs) and basic functional analysis or operator theory. The user expresses interest in resources that can facilitate comprehension of theoretical QM papers, with a preference for texts that are not overly complex, as exemplified by the linked Schrodinger PDF, which is considered too difficult. Additionally, an introduction to quantum field theory (QFT) at the end of the recommended materials would be appreciated.

Hi all,

I was wondering if I could get recommendations for texts/notes that delve deeper into the mathematics of QM as well as QM itself than what one finds in standard "Intro to QM" texts. Ideally it'd be presented in the style of Nielsen and Chuang's Quantum Computation book, but in greater depth. An introduction to QFT at the end would be a bonus.

If it helps, I'm looking for material that will help me better understand theoretical QM papers.

Many thanks in advance.

PS texts/notes like these https://www.mat.univie.ac.at/~gerald/ftp/book-schroe/schroe.pdf are much too difficult for me.

"An Introduction to Quantum Theory" by Keith Hannabuss perhaps?
 
Cheers for the recommendations, do these go through topics like POVMs and basic functional analysis/operator theory?

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
