Pretty much any introductory quantum mechanics book is fine. In principle, one can also learn this purely algebraically (without knowing "normal" QM) but I'm not sure if there is any good reference, or whether that is even a good idea from a physics education point of view. (Clearly, knowing more about your background would help.) | |
