Textbook

A Modern Introduction to Quantum Mechanics, 2e (2013)

Advanced reference

Modern Quantum Mechanics, 3e is an advanced textbook that follows the same approach as the textbook we are using. If you want to see more rigorous treatments, and more in-depth applications and examples, I recommend this book. (Full disclosure, I am an author.) This is the book currently being used in our graduate level Quantum Mechanics course.
