The quantum mechanics stuff misses EPR & Bell's theorem, which roughly says that the probabilities in quantum mechanics are essential. Experimental confirmation of this won the Noble Prize last year. Feynman famously counseled one of the winners not to work on it, as Feynman thought it wasn't interesting.
It also misses quantum seeing in the dark and the Elitzur–Vaidman bomb tester. In the two slit experiment, if you detect a particle where there's supposed to be a node, this means one of the slits is blocked. So, you can detect that one of the slits is blocked from a particle that went through the other slit.
A good modern textbook is Mastering Quantum Mechanics by Barton Zwiebach of MIT. His courses on MITx and open courseware are really great.
Edit: Also, all of computational physics.
