I would like to understand this stuff. Can you recommend a textbook of moderate difficulty (say, an undergraduate textbook)?
Or, more realistically, could you recommend a maths textbook that would give me the basic grounding for understanding the simplified version of the physics? I am not entirely hopeless at maths and would enjoy some abstract fun in my spare time.
As cavediver has already said, there is no one truly satisfying QM book.
In my opinion the two best are "Landau and Lifshitz: Quantum Mechanics" and "Shankar: Principles of Quantum Mechanics".
Landau and Lifshitz is great, because it is one of the few books a newcomer can actually understand and Shankar because of how he explains Hilbert Space and the Dirac notation.
