Most of what I use day to day in research is either specialized to my subfield or can be found in Nielsen and Chuang, so I've actually never looked at any other textbooks specifically for quantum computation. If you're interested in more of the information theory aspect, I have heard that "The Theory of Quantum Information" by John Watrous is a good text, but I have not personally read any of it.

As for Modern Physics, if you have the math prerequisites and you want a broad overview, the series of textbooks by Landau and Lifshitz would be my go-to. However, the problems are quite challenging and the text is relatively terse. I think the only other textbook that I've used personally would be Halliday, Resnick, and Krane. I didn't read a great deal of the textbook, but I do recall finding it relatively well-written.
