Quantum Do you have a quantum physics book? Can I borrow it?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around finding resources for learning quantum physics. Participants suggest searching for books by adding "pdf" to the title in Google to locate free resources. A specific recommendation is made for a quantum physics and cosmology book, noted for being accessible though not deeply detailed. However, there is a reminder about the importance of copyright, emphasizing that sharing copyrighted materials is not permitted. A link to a set of quantum physics notes is provided as a legitimate resource, and users are directed to a Free Physics Books thread for additional options.

If you look up the title of a book and follow it with ¨ pdf¨" in google you can find it

<Link to copyrighted material removed>

thats a good start for quantum physics and cosmology.
I am aware it is pop-science and isn't in too much detail but it is a good place to get into it.

You can't "borrow" a pdf. Note that we are very strict about copyright at PhysicsForums and will not allow the sharing of copyrighted material.

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
