High School Graduation: Preparing for Quantum Mechanics

[Nervous]

OK, so I want to do something in physics.
And *so far* I'm feeling most interested in Quantum Mechanics, but I know it's best to keep my options open.
I'm also a senior in high school, graduating this year.
I wanted to know if there are any programs I could do before I get into college.
A head start if you will.

Any advice is more than what I have right now so get at me.

Heya,

Quantum Mechanics is a course all physics students take in college and grad school. If you want to study quantum mechanics on the research level, I'd suggest looking into a university that has a quantum computing research group.

As for programs before hand, I'm not sure. It'd be best if you work on your math skills - quantum mechanics, at the basic level, requires one to be proficient in calculus (1, 2, and 3), differential equations (up to second order partial diff-eqs), group theory, complex analysis, and Fourier analysis.

Best of luck to you in your future endeavors!
