What is the Best Book for Understanding Quantum Physics in Depth?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding a comprehensive book that covers significant topics in quantum physics, including string theory, spin, and superconductivity. The user seeks a resource that delves deeply into these subjects rather than providing a superficial overview, as they aim to grasp the complex discussions often encountered in advanced physics. They express a solid foundation in mathematics and a basic understanding of quantum mechanics, questioning whether an A* in A-levels is sufficient for tackling such material. The conversation highlights the anticipation of a new book by Leonard Susskind on quantum mechanics, suggesting it may be a valuable resource for those looking to deepen their understanding of the field. However, there is a sentiment that no single book currently meets the demand for a thorough exploration of quantum mechanics.

a book that covers from string fields to spin to superconductor property, well... does not have to be all of them, but a book that would cover most popular thesis of quantum physics, most would be optimum but onnly the popular ones ie, super string
i don't acctually know much, well the basics of quantum mechanics, i have a good knowledge of maths, so i don't think it would be a problem, would an A* in a level be good enough?
i don't want something that only skimms the subjects becuase i never acctually learn anything from those, i want a book that goes a deep enough depth of the main thesis out there, i just want to understnad what the hell are those 2nd degree physisis are talking about, because for now, to me they are talking in another language, i don't need to have enough knowledge to be able to chat quantum physics with them, but i want to be able to understand

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!
This is part 2 of my thread Collection of Free Online Math Books and Lecture Notes Here, we will consider physics and mathematical methods for physics resources. Now, this is a work in progress. Please feel free comment regarding items you want to be included, or if a link is broken etc. Note: I will not post links to other collections, each link will point you to a single item. :book:📚📒 [FONT=trebuchet ms]Introductory college/university physics College Physics, Openstax...
