Application-Driven Quantum and Statistical Physics A Short Course for Future Scientists and Engineers Volume 1: FoundationsVolume 2: Equilibriumsby Jean-Michel Gillet (CentraleSupélec, Paris-Saclay University, France)
This series is an ideal introductory course for students who are looking for an alternative approach to the traditional academic treatment of quantum and statistical physics. It bridges the gap between other traditional books on this topic. This pedagogical approach relies heavily on scientific or technological applications from a wide range of fields. For every new concept introduced, an application is given to connect the theoretical results to a real-life situation.
Each volume features in-text exercises and detailed solutions, with easy-to-understand applications.

Time-Dependent Quantum Mechanics of Two-Level Systemsby James P Lavine (Georgetown University, USA)
This book is ideal for self-study by students or researchers starting on two-level systems. The detailed derivations and plots should ease readers into the study of two-level systems in a wide variety of settings. It builds upon an undergraduate course in quantum mechanics and is useful for readers interested in magnetic resonance and quantum optics.
Readership: This is an undergraduate textbook in quantum mechanics suitable for students in physics, chemistry, optics, materials science, and electrical engineering.
This present edition of the book follows the generally pedagogic style of Quantum Mechanics. The scope ranges from relativistic quantum mechanics to an introduction to quantum field theory with quantum electrodynamics as the basic example and ends with an exposition of important issues related to the standard model. The book presents the subject in basic and easy-to-grasp notions which will enhance the purpose of this book as a useful textbook in the area of relativistic quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics.

Introductory Quantum Physics and Relativity (2nd Edition)by Jacob Dunningham (University of Sussex, UK)& Vlatko Vedral (Oxford)
The second edition is unique as an undergraduate textbook as it combines quantum physics and relativity at an introductory level. It expounds the foundations of these two subjects in detail, but also illustrates how they can be combined. It discusses recent applications, but also exposes undergraduates to cutting-edge research topics, such as laser cooling, Bose–Einstein condensation, tunneling microscopes, lasers, nonlocality, and quantum teleportation.

Solid State Quantum Information — An Advanced Textbook Quantum Aspect of Many-Body Systemsby Wonmin Son (NUS, Singapore) & Vlatko Vedral (Oxford)
This book has been written with an emphasis on recent developments in quantum many-body physics approaches. It starts by covering the classical theory of solids and electrons and describes how this classical model has failed. The authors then present the quantum mechanical model of electrons in a lattice and they also discuss the theory of conductivity. Extensive reviews on the topic are provided in a compact manner so that any non-specialist can follow from the beginning.

New & Classic Textbooks in Quantum Physics for 2019
Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics (2nd Edition)An Introductionby Asim Gangopadhyaya (Loyola University Chicago, USA), Jeffry Mallow (Loyola University Chicago, USA) & Constantin Rasinariu (Loyola University Chicago, USA)

Tsinghua Report and Review in Physics - Volume 3
Principles of Physics From Quantum Field Theory to Classical Mechanics (2nd Edition) by Jun Ni (Tsinghua University, China)
Reviews of the First Edition:
“The book is highly recommended as a reference for advanced graduate students and scholars involved in modern physics research. The perspective obtained from sequential derivation and presentation of topics, from quantum to macro-scales, enables the reader with an increased understanding of the topics so described.”

Quantum Optics for Experimentalistsby Zheyu Jeff Ou (Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis, USA)
This book on quantum optics is from the point of view of an experimentalist. It approaches the theory of quantum optics with the language of optical modes of classical wave theory, with which experimentalists are most familiar. This approach makes the transition easy from classical optics to quantum optics. The emphasis on the multimode description of an optical system is more realistic than in most quantum optics textbooks. After the theoretical part, the book goes directly to the two most basic experimental techniques in quantum optics and establishes the connection between the experiments and the theory. The applications include some key quantum optics experiments, and a few more current interests that deal with quantum correlation and entanglement, quantum noise in phase measurement and amplification, and quantum state measurement.
A Modern Course in University Physics Optics, Thermal Physics, Modern Physicsby Fuxiang Han (Dalian University of Technology, China)
This is a calculus-based textbook on general physics. It contains all the major subjects covered in an intermediate or advanced course on general physics. It also embraces the most recent developments in science and technology. With this book, students can have a better understanding of physics principles and a broad view on the applications of physics ideas.

Basic Physicsby Kenneth W Ford
Many teachers will value this book as a personal reference during a teaching year as various topics are addressed. Ford’s discussions of the history and meaning of topics from Newton’s mechanics to Feynman’s diagrams, although written first in 1968, have beautifully withstood the test of time and are fully relevant to 21st-century physics teaching.
