Likewise, much of the Quantum Physics sequence can be found in quantum physics textbooks, e.g. Sakurai & Napolitano (2010).
I don’t think Sakurai is the best reference here—most of an introductory QM book will be about what particles do in the presence of forces, and treats identical particles in a more complicated language because they can be either fermions or bosons.
A better text would be an introduction for people who want to do quantum computing—those people get to use all the nice abstractions and let the physicists worry about the particles in the presence of forces behind those abstractions :P An example I was able to dig up from a course syllabus was (Robert, not David) Griffiths’ Consistent Quantum Theory.
EDIT: Ah, of course the best reference is Feynman’s QED.
