I'm relativly new to quantum ohysics and have only read a few books, please can people explain some of the equations and the maths of quantum physics
I can understand matrices and diracsc equations but please and somebody explain the maths of probability and other matters
thx

Leonard Susskind at Stanford University has a several lectures on YouTube, maybe this will work. This is the first lecture on Quantum Mechanics, suited for those above "freshman":

Lecture 1 | Modern Physics: Quantum Mechanics (Stanford)

And here is the whole playlist of 10 lectures, each 1½ to 2 hours, on YouTube:

If this is too hard, there is two courses on Quantum Entanglements (which is the entry for above). Part 1 & Part 3 is 9 lectures, each 1½ to 2 hours (I can’t find Part 2). Here is the whole playlists on YouTube:

Enjoy!

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

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!
