berkeman said:Very nice, thanks! I like the title
I've bookmarked it and will go through it more soon. I like how it starts with a review of what I learned in undergrad and moves on to subjects I've read about on the PF and beyond. Thanks @smodak![]()
I am very interested to follow Balakrishnan's lectures. Just tell one thing: for starting quantum, do you need to go through the whole classical course? I have an idea of Hamiltonian and Lagrangian and also how to draw phase trajectories and understand autonomous systems. Is that enough?smodak said:I was just watching this lecture by prof.

By the way, thanks for the book![]()
Quantum Mechanics is a branch of physics that studies the behavior of matter and energy at a subatomic level. It explains the behavior of particles such as atoms and subatomic particles, and how they interact with each other and with energy.
Quantum Mechanics is important because it helps us understand the fundamental laws that govern the behavior of matter and energy at a microscopic level. It has also led to the development of many technologies, such as transistors, lasers, and computer memory, that have greatly impacted our daily lives.
Unlike classical mechanics, which explains the behavior of macroscopic objects, Quantum Mechanics deals with the behavior of particles at a subatomic level. It also introduces concepts such as wave-particle duality and uncertainty, which are not present in classical mechanics.
While the concepts of Quantum Mechanics can be complex, there are various resources available that aim to explain it in simpler terms. However, a deep understanding of the subject requires a strong background in mathematics and physics.
Quantum Mechanics has led to the development of many technologies, such as transistors, lasers, and computer memory, that have greatly impacted our daily lives. It is also being used in fields such as cryptography, quantum computing, and quantum teleportation.
