From the bestselling author of The Theoretical Minimum, a DIY introduction to the math and science of quantum physics

First he taught you classical mechanics. Now, physicist Leonard Susskind has teamed up with data engineer Art Friedman to present the theory and associated mathematics of the strange world of quantum mechanics.

In this follow-up to The Theoretical Minimum, Susskind and Friedman provide a lively introduction to this famously difficult field, which attempts to understand the behavior of sub-atomic objects through mathematical abstractions. Unlike other popularizations that shy away from quantum mechanics’ weirdness, Quantum Mechanics embraces the utter strangeness of quantum logic. The authors offer crystal-clear explanations of the principles of quantum states, uncertainty and time dependence, entanglement, and particle and wave states, among other topics, and each chapter includes exercises to ensure mastery of each area. Like The Theoretical Minimum, this volume runs parallel to Susskind’s eponymous Stanford University-hosted continuing education course.

An approachable yet rigorous introduction to a famously difficult topic, Quantum Mechanics provides a tool kit for amateur scientists to learn physics at their own pace.

这辈子也就看看这种科普书了

五星。和这个系列的第一本书classical mechanics一样，从最基本的假设和逻辑出发构建整个量子力学体系，数学只在需要的地方作为工具引入。体系建好以后，再把粒子波函数、量子纠缠、谐振子作为例子进行讲解。好处是读者能够把握住量子力学的精髓而不是陷于波函数的各种计算中，坏处就是，没法训练解题能力（当然这本来就不是本书的目的）。网上有作者的公开课视频：http://theoreticalminimum.com/courses。

先决条件:线性代数和一些理解矩阵数学和复数推荐预读:理查德费曼讲座和一些历史帐户的量子理论。但是，除了这些小事情，这本书代表了作者以一种平易近人的方式解释量子力学的主要概念和数学仪器的真正值得称赞的努力。这是一本非常有趣的书，它为进一步学习更先进的资源提供了一个很好的起点。

对基本原理的阐述挺清晰的，不过吧，现在的主流教材不都能cover到吗？看着玩玩就好了。
