Leonard Susskind opens Stanford Continuing Studies' Theoretical Minimum series with an introduction to quantum mechanics, a course for people who want real physics rather than popularization. It assumes some calculus and linear algebra.
HN recommends the series as an entertaining, serious route into physics for self-learners comfortable with basic math.

Search youtube for the theoretical minimum ▶ this video its a whole playlist for quantum mechanics, Wilberger also has videos on hyperbolic geometry and relativity
For physics, I believe you fall in Leonard Susskind's target audience. You can get his book, or even better, watch his large amount of lectures: ▶ this video Susskind is an eminence - he was Feynman's buddy back in the day. And he's entertaining as hell. Here's also Gerard 't Hooft's (Nobel laureate) list of concepts and books to master. If you finish that -in several years- you will be a qualified theoretical physicist. Whereas Susskind will give you more of an overview. link
Do you have a few hundred spare hours? Leonard Susskind did an extensive series of lectures, that assumes some familiarity with Calculus and linear algebra, but almost nothing else. ▶ this video
