Principles of Quantum Mechanics
by Paul A. M. Dirac · Paul A.M. Dirac
Dirac's own formulation of quantum theory, developing bra-ket notation, transformation theory, and quantization from first principles. Readers finish with the abstract operator framework that underlies modern treatments, though the notation predates current textbook conventions.
