  1. 1 Modern Physics Series
  2. 2 quantum mechanics requires advanced mathematics
  3. 3 quantum mechanics is math
  4. 4 relevant concepts in linear algebra and differential equations are covered in my mathematics series
  5. 5 together we will derive the equations of quantum mechanics
  6. 6 1 Visit my mathematics playlist, scroll down until the topics seem unfamiliar, and watch from that point through to the end of the list.
  7. 7 Classical Physics Series
  8. 8 Where is the particle located? Where will it be some specific time from now?
  9. 9 we can use this to predict the precise position and velocity of this particle at any time given the initial conditions
  10. 10 this does not work for quantum particles
  11. 11 Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
  12. 12 Wave-Particle Duality
  13. 13 classical particles are macroscopic objects
  14. 14 the wavefunction (psi of x)
  15. 15 examples of operators
  16. 16 in quantum mechanics position and momentum are operators
  17. 17 de Broglie principle
  18. 18 Properties of Operators
  19. 19 commutator of position and momentum
