Comments
I thoroughly enjoyed this subject. What I loved about this subject was how weird the quantum realm really is, also the lecturers are really great. What was also really good, was doing a poster presentation on a field in quantum physics and also writing an essay on a field of quantum physics. Mind you the subject was actually quite hard and you need to put in a lot to do well.

D J Griffiths Introduction to Quantum Mechanics, 2nd Ed, Pearson Prentice Hall 2005,E Merzbacher, Quantum Mechanics, Wiley andB H Bransden and C J Joachain, Introduction to Quantum Mechanics, Longmans. I personally didn't find the textbook that useful since the lecture notes were comprehensive enough.
