Quantum Mechanics
« on: October 25, 2020, 11:51:09 AM »
Hello, is there any way to simplify Quantum Mechanics? I'm trying to understand it, but it feels so abstract to me.

Sadly, no. It is, as they say, what it is. Your feelings are correct. It's very abstract. My suggestion is to just focus on the rules and their implications, rather than trying to understand why.

Q.  What's the best book on quantum mechanics ever written.
A.  The third one that you read.

I like Professor Levine's treatment, in which he lays out postulates.  But basically I agree with Corribus.
