Dr. Thayer had the opportunity to write a quantum textbook, “Modern Introductory Quantum Mechanics with Interpretation.” Furthermore, as a representative topic in the textbook, which provides a major ...

With Gunn’s help, we’ve curated a selection of the best books about quantum mechanics for armchair physicists. Keep scrolling, do nothing, or exist in both potential states at once for more.

These were the laws of quantum mechanics, and they got their name from the work of Max Planck. "An Act of Desperation" In 1900, Max Planck was a physicist in Berlin studying something called the ...

The textbook rules of quantum mechanics therefore need to invoke special processes to describe ‘measurement’ or ‘observation’, unlike every previous framework for physics. As a field ...

To begin with, there’s no single quantum theory. There’s quantum mechanics, the basic mathematical framework that underpins it all, which was first developed in the 1920s by Niels Bohr ...

Quantum mechanics is the best tool we have to understand how the universe works on its smallest scales. Everything we can see around us, from far-off galaxies to our own bodies, is made up of ...
