I have been taking many online courses. In the prerequisites for many courses, it has been mentioned, "basic" quantum mechanics.
It has become important to define where the boundary of basic ends and the advanced level starts, though I believe that is not well defined. I have been studying QM since some time, and hence I want to know what are the basics of QM.
I have a list of topics. Please tell me if anything should be added or excluded.
