bhobba said:I sense you may be looking for a more experimental approach to QM. We had a discussion about that a while ago and the following book was mentioned:

It looks a very good book and may interest you.
I have to say though its not my preferred approach because I believe QM at rock bottom is simply an extension to probability theory:

But that's just me. Science is based on experiment - not how I prefer to look at things.
Thanks

Will check it as well thanks :)atyy said:I think the Feynman lectures has a similar treatment: http://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/III_05.html.

The mathematical structure of quantum mechanics is based on a set of principles and equations that describe the behavior of particles at the subatomic level. These principles include wave-particle duality, uncertainty principle, and superposition, and the equations involve complex numbers, matrices, and operators.
The Stern Gerlach experiment was one of the first experiments that provided evidence for the quantum nature of particles. It demonstrated the quantization of spin angular momentum, which is a fundamental property of particles described by quantum mechanics.
Spin is a fundamental property of particles that is described by quantum mechanics. It is a form of angular momentum that is quantized, meaning it can only take on certain discrete values. Spin plays a crucial role in understanding the behavior and interactions of particles at the subatomic level.
Matrices and operators are essential tools in the mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics. They are used to represent physical quantities, such as position, momentum, and angular momentum, and their corresponding operators are used to calculate the outcomes of measurements on quantum systems.
Yes, the mathematical structure of quantum mechanics has been extensively tested and has been shown to accurately predict the behavior of subatomic particles. It has been used to make predictions about the outcomes of experiments, such as the probabilities of particles being found in certain states or locations.
