Useful books and lecture notes

Lecture notes for Advanced Quantum Mechanics by Stefan Weinzierl, available here (in German)
Schwabl, Advanced Quantum Mechanics (German or English)
Sakurai, Advanced Quantum Mechanics
Srednicki, Quantum Field Theory
Peskin, Schröder, Quantum Field Theory
Ryder, Quantum Field Theory

Students interested in mathematical aspects of quantum mechanics might find the four volume series by Reed and Simon useful.

I was lucky to learn quantum mechanics both from Wolfgang Kinzel (Wuerzburg University) and from Juerg Froehlich (ETH Zurich). The former followed a conventional approach, my latex-ed lecture notes from that course are available (here). Lecture notes for the more mathematical course by Juerg are currently available (here), and I hope to someday recover the notes for the second semester.
