Quantum Modern Physics Textbook Recommendations for Top-Tier Universities

AI Thread 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.

David Tong's University of Cambridge lectures:

His lectures themselves are better than most textbooks, but at the beginning of each lecture he recommends a few textbooks for more details.

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!
