Question

I am really interested in learning quantum mechanics but i don't know how to start, any suggestions?

Answer 1

i hope someone gives good advice on this. A simple book as a starting point is what i'm looking for...

Answer 2

Always start with the basics. I began my learning with 'Concepts of Physics' by H.C.Verma but it wasn't just dedicated to Quantum Mechanics. But that book helped me a lot.

Answer 3

hm maybe

Answer 8

Quantum Mechanics by Prof HC Verma. It is a BSc resource book :)

Answer 9

Thank you everyone your help.

Answer 10

you also have some top-notch tutorials from @Michele_Laino to get you going too

prob is, tutorial retrieval in these parts isn't easy.......

Answer 11

here are two good textbooks, which illustrate the mathematical foundation of Quantum Mechanics:
\[\begin{gathered}
1)\;{\text{P}}{\text{.A}}{\text{.M}}{\text{.}}\;\;{\text{Dirac}} \hfill \\
{\text{}}{\mathbf{The}}\;\;{\mathbf{Principles}}\;\;{\mathbf{of}}\;\;{\mathbf{Quantum}}\;\;{\mathbf{Mechanics}}{\text{}} \hfill \\
{\text{Clarendon}}\;\;{\text{Press}}{\text{,}}\;\;{\text{Oxford}}{\text{,}}\;\;{\text{\(4^\circ\) edition}}\;\;{\text{1958}} \hfill \\
\hfill \\
{\text{2)}}\;{\text{Chris}}\;\;{\text{J}}{\text{.}}\;\;{\text{Isham}} \hfill \\
{\text{}}{\mathbf{Lectures}}\;\;{\mathbf{on}}\;\;{\mathbf{Quantum}}\;\;{\mathbf{Theory}} \hfill \\
{\mathbf{Mathematical}}\;\;{\mathbf{and}}\;\;{\mathbf{Structural}}\;\;{\mathbf{Foundations}}{\text{}} \hfill \\
{\text{Imperial}}\;\;{\text{College}}\;\;{\text{Press}}{\text{,}}\;\;{\text{1995}} \hfill \\
\end{gathered} \]
furthermore, please look at the reference book cited in my tutorial below:

Answer 12

Here is a great playlist, also I'll probably posting things about QM as I'm learning about it next semester hehe.

Check out the playlist, it's amazing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZ3bPUKo5zc&list=PLUl4u3cNGP61-9PEhRognw5vryrSEVLPr

Answer 13

Oh others already posted it rofl

Answer 14

(when three different people post the exact same lecture series, it must be good)

Answer 15

thanks! :) @UnkleRhaukus @Astrophysics for your link, I think, I often will see such lessons!

Answer 16

oops... also thanks to @IrishBoy123 !
