This discussion focuses on recommendations for books on quantum physics for beginners. Key suggestions include "Intro to Quantum Mechanics" by Bransden and Joachain for those with minimal background knowledge, and "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by David J. Griffiths for individuals familiar with Hamiltonian dynamics and basic mathematics, specifically linear algebra and calculus.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of Hamiltonian dynamics
  • Familiarity with linear algebra
  • Knowledge of calculus
  • Interest in physics and quantum mechanics
NEXT STEPS
  • Read "Intro to Quantum Mechanics" by Bransden and Joachain
  • Study "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by David J. Griffiths
  • Explore Hamiltonian dynamics in classical mechanics
  • Review linear algebra and calculus concepts relevant to quantum physics
USEFUL FOR

Students, educators, and physics enthusiasts seeking foundational knowledge in quantum physics and looking for structured learning resources.

Depends on the backgroud.If you know Hamiltonian dynamics and a little maths (linear algebra & calculus),you can take Griffiths' book:"Introduction to Quantum Mechanics".
