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

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding a comprehensive book for understanding quantum physics, particularly one that covers key concepts such as string theory, spin, and superconductivity. Participants emphasize the need for a text that delves deeply into popular theories rather than providing superficial overviews. A recommendation is made for Leonard Susskind's upcoming book on quantum mechanics, which is anticipated to be thorough and insightful. The consensus is that a solid foundation in mathematics, such as an A* in A-levels, is sufficient for engaging with these advanced topics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of quantum mechanics
  • Strong mathematical skills
  • Familiarity with string theory concepts
  • Knowledge of superconductivity principles
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Leonard Susskind's upcoming book on quantum mechanics
  • Explore advanced topics in string theory
  • Study the principles of superconductivity in depth
  • Review mathematical concepts relevant to quantum physics
USEFUL FOR

Students and enthusiasts of physics, particularly those seeking to deepen their understanding of quantum mechanics and related theories.

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 because 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

There is no good book on quantum mechanics.
