Any beginner book reccomendations??

I have just begun an interest in the field of Quantum Mechanics... and i was just wondering if there were any beginner book recommendations that anyone would recommend to me? any help would not be overlooked, thankyou

Sure, there are plenty of great books for beginners in Quantum Mechanics. Here are a few recommendations:

1. "Quantum Mechanics: The Theoretical Minimum" by Leonard Susskind and Art Friedman - This book provides a clear and concise introduction to the basic concepts of Quantum Mechanics, making it a great starting point for beginners.

2. "Quantum Mechanics for Beginners" by Albert Messiah - This book is written in a conversational style and covers the fundamental principles of Quantum Mechanics in an easy-to-understand manner.

3. "Introducing Quantum Theory: A Graphic Guide" by J.P. McEvoy and Oscar Zarate - This book uses graphics and illustrations to explain the key concepts of Quantum Mechanics, making it an engaging read for beginners.

4. "Quantum Physics for Beginners" by Zbigniew Ficek - This book covers the basics of Quantum Mechanics, including wave-particle duality, superposition, and entanglement, in a simple and accessible way.

I hope these recommendations help you get started on your journey into Quantum Mechanics. Happy reading!

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
