Looking for QM book on symmetry and groups

[dyn]

Hi. I am looking for a QM book that covers symmetry , time-reversal , angular momentum representations in SO(3). I have a few books and most of them don't have much detail on these subjects.The main one that does is Sakurai. Any other suggestions ?
Thanks

This is not a QM book that covers symmetry but a symmetry book that covers QM - an excellent book
Physics from Symmetry - Schwichtenberg
https://www.amazon.com/dp/3319192000/?tag=pfamazon01-20

The springer site has preview.

Greiner has a book on that topic that I never read
Quantum Mechanics: Symmetries - Greiner
https://www.amazon.com/dp/3540580808/?tag=pfamazon01-20

Also, check out the following book
Symmetry and the Standard Model - Robinson
https://www.amazon.com/dp/1441982663/?tag=pfamazon01-20

There is an unfinished book by Peter Woit
https://www.math.columbia.edu/~woit/QM/qmbook.pdf
The content on symmetries in the Hamiltonian formalism is quite unique.

Tinkham's "group theory and qm", maybe?

There is an old one like 1970 by the Italians Fonda and Ghirardi published by Marcel Dekker. It contains a lot of material and explanations.

Hi, I suggest also the book of Gilmore

'' Lie groups, Lie algebras and some of their applications''

 

[Dr Transport]

Symmetry Principles and Magnetic Symmetry in Solid State Physics, Joshua (I call it baby Tinkham).

Tinkham

Group Theory in Physics, Wu-Ki Tung.

Joshua hits it from a basic viewpoint and has the answers in the back for self study, then work thru Tinkham. Wu-Ki Tung gives all the Lie Groups info you need for QFT, then you can go on from there.
