Which Academic Book on Quantum Physics is Best for Beginners?

AI Thread Summary
For those seeking a beginner's academic book on quantum physics, Griffiths' book is highly recommended as a foundational text. Following that, Shankar's book and Sakurai's "Modern Quantum Mechanics" are suggested for deeper understanding. These resources are noted for their clarity and thorough explanations, addressing the need for comprehensive coverage of concepts and equations in quantum physics.

Can anyone recommend a beginners book on QP that is academic in nature? I've just about finished Quantum Physics: a beginners guide. I found that it skimmed a lot information and the equations were not fully explained.

Thanks :)

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

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!
