The forum discussion centers on finding video lectures that align with Sakurai's "Modern Quantum Mechanics" textbook, specifically for understanding the first three chapters and the Dirac formulation of quantum mechanics. Users recommend Alexander Maloney's lectures, which are noted for their clarity and alignment with Sakurai's material. Additionally, McMahon's textbook is suggested as an alternative for those struggling with Sakurai's mathematical complexity, although it does not follow the same structure. The discussion highlights the importance of a solid foundation in linear algebra and prior quantum mechanics knowledge for effectively engaging with Sakurai's text.
PREREQUISITESStudents of quantum mechanics, particularly those studying Sakurai's textbook, educators seeking supplementary teaching materials, and anyone looking to deepen their understanding of the Dirac formulation in quantum mechanics.
aiswariya said:hello! I've been trying to read through Sakurai's Modern quantum mechanics textbook ( My goal is to finish the first 3 chapters and understand the Dirac formulation of QM specifically) but I find myself stumbling at many places. Are there any video lectures on the internet that follows this text fairly consistently, so i can get new insights and clear my doubts?
Thank You!
