For those seeking resources on quantum chemistry, a recommended starting point is the Wikipedia summary on quantum chemistry. Introductory books such as Levine's "Quantum Chemistry," Atkins & Friedman's "Molecular Quantum Mechanics," and McQuarrie's "Quantum Chemistry" provide comprehensive insights and methodologies. Levine's book emphasizes wave mechanics and perturbation theory, while Atkins & Friedman offer a solid mathematical framework. McQuarrie's text is particularly useful for self-study with its detailed derivations and solved problems. These resources collectively enhance understanding of quantum physics and its applications in modern chemistry and quantum computing.

Does anybody know a good site on quantum physiks, and in particular quantum chemistry (modern chemistry) and quantum computers ?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
First, there's a Wikipedia summary:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_chemistry

And then there are these introductory books:

Levine — "Quantum Chemistry" (6th ed., 2008)

Clear, step-by-step development of wave mechanics, operators, perturbation theory, variational methods...

Atkins & Friedman — "Molecular Quantum Mechanics" (6th ed., 2011)

Good physical insight and a clear mathematical treatment

McQuarrie — "Quantum Chemistry" (1997)

With detailed derivations and many solved problems great for self-study.
 

Thread 'Uncertainty in pursuing Engineering'

This is my second year in college, and I changed my major to electrical engineering at the start of my second year. I'm taking Calc 1, and I know that I'm going to fail the course. I think there are several reasons for this. I hadn't touched math in an entire year (finished pre-calc 2 in HS), and I heard Calc 1 was the easiest math course, so I decided that taking the class without outside help (tutors or office hours) was enough. I tried really hard and spent hours learning, studying, and...
