Hi everyone,
I am looking for a book on Quantum mechanics(or physics book of higher level)...the book shouldn't be too complex( I know higher level physics is really hard ... I heard). I am college sophomore chemical engineering student. I have taken general physics and general chemistry classes. I was actually in Physics major before but later I decided to study Physics on my own. Most of time I understand the contents to book if it have short and conceptual explanation and mathematical relationship. Anybody know book I can start reading to that I would actually know some Physics? Thnks everyone.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Of course there are lots of them, but from a pedagogical point, Morrisons "Understanding quantum physics - a user's manual" is really good.
 
Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...

Is it possible, and fruitful, to use certain conceptual and technical tools from effective field theory (coarse-graining/integrating-out, power-counting, matching, RG) to think about the relationship between the fundamental (quantum) and the emergent (classical), both to account for the quasi-autonomy of the classical level and to quantify residual quantum corrections? By “emergent,” I mean the following: after integrating out fast/irrelevant quantum degrees of freedom (high-energy modes...
