Good textbook(s) for self-studying Quantum Physics

In summary, good textbooks for self-studying Quantum Physics include "Quantum Mechanics: Concepts and Applications" by Nouredine Zettili, which offers clear explanations and practical problems, and "Principles of Quantum Mechanics" by R. Shankar, known for its comprehensive approach and accessible style. Other recommended texts are "Quantum Physics" by Stephen Gasiorowicz for its clarity and problem sets, and "Quantum Mechanics: A Modern Development" by Leslie E. Ballentine, which emphasizes the conceptual foundations of the subject. Supplementing these resources with online lectures and problem-solving sessions can enhance understanding.

I guess I should've been more clear in my OP--I have no intention of solving the Schrodinger wave equation.
You asked for textbooks. That's what you were given.

You also said you are not averse to equations, so I'm puzzled by your statement that you have no intention of solving the Schrodinger equation. That statement is also not consistent with your request for textbooks, since textbooks are going to want you to solve equations in their exercises.

In any case, it looks like your OP request has been met, so this thread is now closed.
