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