can you name any good book which can teach quantum mechanics from very root to the end
 
Physics news on Phys.org
griffiths, blue book with a cat :)
 
Quantum Mechanics still has active areas of research- there is no 'end'. Depending on your comfort level, I would recommend books by

Eisberg and Resnick
Cohen-Tannoudji
Sakurai

But there's a million to choose from, get a couple and see what one makes the most sense to you.
