I don't think it's possible for a vulcan to study quantum mechanics, they would probably go insane, like Tuvix.
What do you think ?

Jokes aside. Krauss "The Physics of Star Trek" is actually quite a good book. The transporter is covered in one of chapters. And one side-effect of reading it is that you do learn something about real physics as well.
Also the "Heisenberg compensator" is actually quite a clever device.
Has anyone ever seen it mentioned in a QM course*?
*Not as a "real" device of course, but explaining why one would/wouldn't be needed for the transporter sounds like a fun assignment.
EDIT: Another thing about the book that i thought was funny, was they spent all this time on the specs of the equipment, the crucial aspect of "how" a particular technology worked was kind of brushed off.
Edit: Janus was faster...

Yes, a vulcan can study quantum mechanics. Vulcans are known for their advanced intelligence and logical thinking which makes them well-suited for scientific fields such as quantum mechanics.
It is difficult to say for certain as intelligence and understanding can vary among individuals, regardless of species. However, vulcans' logical thinking may give them an advantage in understanding the complex concepts of quantum mechanics.
Vulcans have made significant contributions to the study of quantum mechanics, such as developing advanced mathematical models and theories. They have also played a key role in the development and use of quantum technologies.
Yes, vulcans may have a different perspective on quantum mechanics due to their logical and analytical nature. They may approach problems and theories in a more methodical and systematic manner.
Vulcans can apply their understanding of quantum mechanics to various fields, such as astrophysics, engineering, and computer science. Their knowledge can also aid in the development of advanced technologies and advancements in space exploration.
