I'm looking for a text with loads of worked examples , plenty of exercises,
and since I'm working alone , a solutions manual - or some access to the answers - is vital.
Currently working Griffiths.
The only way to master this demon is by doing dozens of problems.
Any suggestions appreciated.

[ My background is primary degree in maths.+ masters in theoretical physics BUT 40 years ago.my ambition is to "understand" QED/QFT before I <d|I|e> ]

Although many of Schaum's outlines are worthless, their QM book is quite good. You might want to look at that.
 
Practical Quantum Mechanics, by Siegfried Flugge
 
There is an excellent set of lecture notes by Prof. John Norbury on both quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. These are freely available online. Just google norbury+physics.
In the quantum mechanics lecture notes he essentially follows Griffiths' book but there are a lot of problems and complete solutions to them.
Moreover, these are written at an undergraduate level, so are relatively easy to understand.
 
Thanks for the suggestions
The Norbury notes look very interesting , however the diagrams are missing
when I unzip the .rar files. Any ideas how to fix this?
 
Unfortunately that's a problem and I don't know a way out.
Maybe you could email Norbury and request him to send a pdf with diagrams.
 
Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...

Is it possible, and fruitful, to use certain conceptual and technical tools from effective field theory (coarse-graining/integrating-out, power-counting, matching, RG) to think about the relationship between the fundamental (quantum) and the emergent (classical), both to account for the quasi-autonomy of the classical level and to quantify residual quantum corrections? By “emergent,” I mean the following: after integrating out fast/irrelevant quantum degrees of freedom (high-energy modes...
