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.

By looking around, it seems like Dr. Hassani's books are great for studying "mathematical methods for the physicist/engineer." One is for the beginner physicist [Mathematical Methods: For Students of Physics and Related Fields] and the other is [Mathematical Physics: A Modern Introduction to Its Foundations] for the advanced undergraduate / grad student. I'm a sophomore undergrad and I have taken up the standard calculus sequence (~3sems) and ODEs. I want to self study ahead in mathematics...
