Quantum Modern Physics Textbook Recommendations for Top-Tier Universities

Click For Summary
Current recommendations for Modern Physics textbooks at the upper undergraduate and graduate levels emphasize the need for resources that align with top-tier university standards. While Beiser's "Concepts of Modern Physics" is noted, it may be too elementary for advanced studies. David Tong's lecture notes from the University of Cambridge are highlighted as exceptionally informative, often surpassing traditional textbooks. Tong also provides a list of recommended textbooks at the start of his lectures, which can serve as valuable resources for deeper understanding in areas such as Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, Nuclear Physics, and Particle Physics.

I seek current textbook recommendations for Modern Physics (Relativity, Quantum, Nuclear, Particles), upper undergraduate and graduate level, preferably that which are used at top-tier universities. Suggestions appreciated.

i am self learning physics. have you ever worked your way backwards again after finishing most undergrad courses? i have textbooks for junior/senior physics courses in classical mechanics, electrodynamics, thermal physics, quantum mechanics, and mathematical methods for self learning. i have the Halliday Resnick sophomore book. working backwards, i checked out Conceptual Physics 11th edition by Hewitt and found this book very helpful. What i liked most was how stimulating the pictures...
