SUMMARY

This discussion identifies several quality online resources for introductory quantum mechanics. Richard Fitzpatrick's lectures at the University of Texas provide a structured approach to the subject, while Gerhard 't Hooft's links to the University of Virginia offer Mathematica notebooks for practical problem-solving. Users are encouraged to search for "quantum mechanics lecture notes" for additional materials, including resources available on arXiv.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of quantum mechanics principles
  • Familiarity with Mathematica for problem-solving
  • Access to online educational resources
  • Ability to navigate academic websites and databases
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore Richard Fitzpatrick's quantum mechanics lectures at the University of Texas
  • Investigate Gerhard 't Hooft's Mathematica notebooks for quantum mechanics problems
  • Search for additional quantum mechanics lecture notes on arXiv
  • Review supplementary materials on quantum mechanics from reputable academic institutions
USEFUL FOR

Students and educators in physics, anyone seeking foundational knowledge in quantum mechanics, and individuals interested in utilizing Mathematica for quantum problem-solving.

Are there any good online quantum mechanics intros?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I've used these http://farside.ph.utexas.edu/teaching/qmech/lectures/lectures.html" by Richard Fitzpatrick as a supplement to my text, I thought they were pretty good. Pretty much follows a standard treatment.

Gerhard 't Hooft links to http://galileo.phys.virginia.edu/classes/252/home.html" , which I just noticed has mathematica notebooks for various problems...I'll have to check those out


Just search "quantum mechanics lectures notes" and browse around until you find something good.
