Best Books on Quantum Mechanics (Undergrad Level)

[the_kid]

I'm looking for a good book on QM to study from (at the advanced undergrad level), but the caveat is that it must be concise. What do you recommend?

Have you seen any quantum mechanics before? Sakurai is legitimate graduate level but an advanced undergraduate could of course handle it.

Yes, I've taken a rigorous one-term undergraduate course, but I'm looking to review using a concise book that avoids lengthy exposition. Thanks for the reply!

I'd agree that Sakurai is a good follow on to an undergraduate course.

If you want a really short book, try Quantum Mechanics by P. C. W. Davies. He does not cover anything beyond the very basics, but often in a clever way.

Also, look for Dicke & Wittke in the library. It's concise, has good coverage of the basics, while going further than the typical undergraduate course.
