SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the mathematical foundations of quantum physics, specifically targeting concepts such as matrices and Dirac equations. Leonard Susskind's lectures at Stanford University are highlighted as valuable resources for understanding quantum mechanics, with a recommended first lecture available on YouTube. Additionally, the discussion mentions two courses on Quantum Entanglements, which serve as an entry point for deeper exploration into quantum mathematics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of matrices in quantum mechanics
  • Familiarity with Dirac equations
  • Basic knowledge of probability theory in quantum contexts
  • Access to online educational resources like YouTube
NEXT STEPS
  • Watch Leonard Susskind's "Modern Physics: Quantum Mechanics" lecture series on YouTube
  • Explore the Quantum Entanglements courses available online
  • Study the mathematical principles of quantum probability
  • Research additional resources on Dirac equations and their applications
USEFUL FOR

Students and enthusiasts of quantum physics, educators seeking teaching materials, and anyone interested in the mathematical aspects of quantum mechanics.

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:
