A and B are Operators. You can't just integrate over them. You should really pick up the book "Modern Quantum Mechanics" by Sakurai and read the first 30-50 pages. There are two ways to introduce quantum mechanics. You either take the wave mechanics route, which leads to a very flawed...

Before you decide to not do physics, you should learn about your options. As an engineer, you don't build a car from scratch. Starting out, if you can even land a job with a car manufacturer, you might be responsible for one of the less important pieces of the engine or the gear box. You...

There are many amazing jobs for physics Bachelors. Most of them won't be about inventing the new revolutionizing theory of everything, but finding something amazing with "just a physics bachelors" is not at all impossible.

On being able to code: You should surely know that if you want to make anywhere near 50k or more, your job will be sitting at a desk. The world has changed since the 1950s. Modern desks usually have a computer sitting on top of them. Not being able to code at all states one of two things...

There are two types of Physics lectures: 1. Experimental Physics Here you will learn about the notable experiments that were conducted, the ideas derived from them, enough formulae to explain "mathematically" what happens. I don't enjoy this at all, but to most physics students, its the...

I have not read most of the thread but am going to comment on possible options that I know about: 1. Quant The quant world is in limbo right now. The stressful hours and garbagety overall working conditions are the same as they were in the past, but people are not making the big moneys...
