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.
