Quantum physics reading material

AI Thread Summary
For those new to quantum physics, starting with Richard Feynman's "QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter" is highly recommended. Additionally, the HyperPhysics website offers a wealth of resources on various physics topics, making it a useful tool for beginners. Engaging with Feynman's other works, such as "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman," is also suggested to deepen understanding and appreciation of his insights into physics.

hi. I'm relatively (no pun intended) new to quantum physics. I just finished my high school physics class which mainly dealt with the basics and classical physics. Can anyone suggest some papers or articles I can read in order to get my feet wet in this new realm? Thanks.

You could start with QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter by Feynman
 
that was a good link, and i'll be ordering the feynman book. i'll gladly read anything he's written after i read "surely, you must be joking, mr. feynman"
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
