Find Free Ebooks on Physics: Quantum Mechanics by J.J. Sakurai

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on finding free ebooks related to physics, particularly quantum mechanics. Participants highlight that J.J. Sakurai's book is copyrighted and cannot be legally downloaded for free. A misconception arises when someone claims that Sakurai posted his book on arXiv, which is clarified as incorrect; Sakurai passed away in 1983, and the book was completed and published by others. Suggestions for finding legal resources include using Google to check copyright status and exploring educational websites like MIT for lecture notes and materials. Users also share links to various online resources, including McGill Libraries and other educational platforms, while emphasizing the importance of accessing materials legally. The conversation reflects a mix of humor and frustration regarding the search for academic resources, particularly for students in regions with limited access to books.
