How can i start in quantum physics and quantum mechanics?

AI Thread Summary
To start learning about quantum physics and quantum mechanics, video resources like the Feynman Lectures and the Crash Course Physics series on YouTube are recommended. It's important to have a foundational understanding of classical physics and mathematics, as these subjects are interconnected. While some users emphasize the need for a solid math background, others suggest that beginners can start with accessible content to build interest and basic knowledge. Channels like PBS's Space-Time are highlighted for their engaging explanations that connect mathematics to physical concepts. Overall, starting with videos can provide a good introduction before delving deeper into the subject.

i want an article or video that i can start with at the journy of understanding the basics of quantum physics and quantum mechanics
i don't want a book because in my country i would not find this types of books every where it's unique to find them
thanks

It's not clear what your level of education is... and how far you wish to go.

http://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/
and video lectures:
http://www.cornell.edu/video/playlist/richard-feynman-messenger-lectures ("Character of Physical Law")
http://www.vega.org.uk/video/subseries/8 (Feynman's Auckland lectures... precursor to the QED book)

You can probably find versions of these videos on YouTube.

Thanks for the Feynman lecture links

i have no idea about it all what i know is that quantum mechanics branch of physics to study atoms
i am not going to study it i am just going to read about it to have a good background about it
thanks for the link
 
Have you already learned classical mechanics, electromagnetism or optics?
 
no no i am 13 ,but in the college i will

Then you need to learn physics, period, not just "quantum physics". You cannot learn physics in bits and pieces, because they are all connected.

And to be able to do physics, you need a solid foundation in mathematics.

That's a bit heavy handed reply for an OP that wanted to know where they could start.

Everyone has to _START_ somewhere. Yes, one will need a solid foundation in mathematics to major in physics or to succeed in college physics courses. But one can certainly make a good start in middle school and high school BEFORE one has all the math needed to succeed in college physics. (I certainly did. The understanding of physics I gained before I was proficient in the math required for college physics served me very well in my career.) No need to put up road blocks.

I'll tell you what helped me get into it. As I am seeking advice as well. It started with the crash course Channel on YouTube. Watch the physics section. Here's the thing, the person that does that uses quite a bit of equations. There are some explanations on where they came from but not all of them. Then watch the space-time Channel on YouTube. Both of them are done by PBS. The space-time helped me a lot more because not only does it draw the connections between the language of mathematics. But it shows mathematics as not just a tool, but a description of reality. This distinction made it a lot more interesting for me. Those are all basic concepts without deeper understanding. However, at least you will have an idea and a basic understanding of what physics is.
