Could anyone please recommend some beginner-intermediate books on quantum physics for me? I don't want a lot of math, but I would like to learn the basic equations of different phenomena. Thanks.

Nature Loves to Hide: A Western Perspective. I personally think it's one of the best books for beginners. Can't think of the author off the top of my head.

Sure, here are a few recommendations for beginner-intermediate books on quantum physics:

1. "Quantum Physics for Beginners" by Jim Al-Khalili - This book provides a clear and easy-to-understand introduction to quantum physics, covering topics such as wave-particle duality, the uncertainty principle, and quantum entanglement. It also includes some basic equations and explains their significance.

2. "Introducing Quantum Theory: A Graphic Guide" by J.P. McEvoy and Oscar Zarate - If you prefer a more visual approach, this book uses illustrations and diagrams to explain the key concepts of quantum physics. It also covers the history of quantum theory and its applications.

3. "Quantum Mechanics: The Theoretical Minimum" by Leonard Susskind and Art Friedman - This book is a bit more advanced, but still accessible for beginners. It covers the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics and includes some basic equations, but also delves into more complex topics such as quantum field theory.

4. "The Quantum World: Quantum Physics for Everyone" by Kenneth W. Ford - This book is written for a general audience and does not assume any prior knowledge of physics. It covers the basics of quantum mechanics, including the Schrödinger equation and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.

I hope these recommendations are helpful and provide a good starting point for your exploration of quantum physics. Happy reading!
