A textbook for a two-semester graduate course on quantum mechanics with a strong emphasis on conceptual issues and contemporary topics. The text contains type A and B material separated by difficulty. Self-contained, this book demands minimal physics background and is accompanied by 300 unsolved problems and 150 questions, and a solutions manual.
