Resources for learning the rotation group in quantum mechanics

[Allday]

I'm trying to get a handle on the rotation group in quantum mechanics. Does anyone have suggestions or links to clear and consise statements of this material. I am looking for a level of about Sakurai.

Thanks

Weyl's & Wigner's books were the first to deal with group theory in QM.

There's no better treatment than the one in Sakurai.Close come R.Newton,A.Messiah & Davydov.

My advice is go for the best.

I would highly recommend, also, Edmonds, Angular Momentum in Quantum Mechanics, the bible for many of us older types.

I agree with Reilly and dextercioby,

Besides if you are interested in a little summary, just check out the 'how grouptheory works'-entry in my journal : https://www.physicsforums.com/journal.php?s=&journalid=13790&action=view

In addition, try Tinkhams book on Group Theory along with Wu-Ki Tungs, both are excellent.
