The plain-English guide to understanding quantum physics.

Mastering quantum physics is no easy feat, but with the help of Quantum Physics For Dummies you can work at your own pace to unlock key concepts and fascinating facts. Packed with invaluable explanations, equations, and step-by-step instructions, this book makes a challenging subject much more accessible. Great for college students taking a quantum physics course, Quantum Physics For Dummies offers complete coverage of the subject, along with numerous examples to help you tackle the tough stuff. The Schrodinger Equation, the foundations of quantum physics, vector notation, scattering theory, angular momentum—it's all in here. This handy guide helps you prepare for exams and succeed at learning quantum physics.

This book contains the need-to-know concepts of quantum physics, including the history of how it was discovered, explanations (and thought experiments) outlining its core issues and debates, and the math needed to dive into some of its central problems. Quantum physics is one of the most conceptually confusing subjects known to science. It’s a subject about which there can be heated, fundamental debates among even the most distinguished experts. The first several chapters focus on exploring the underlying science, how quantum physics ideas were discovered, and the core scientific concepts. But ultimately, quantum physics is about solving equations, and this book doesn’t shy away from that. Starting with Chapter 7, this book assumes a fairly high level of mathematical proficiency. You can’t fully appreciate the subject without getting into calculus, and beyond that into subjects such as linear algebra and differential equations.

Physicists began to notice quantum physics only after they could look at a single atom or, even more precisely, after they began to look inside of a single atom — for example, when they examined electrons within an atom or the structure of the atomic nucleus. This tiny level was where quantum behaviors really became evident. Quantum physics discoveries enabled physicists to finally begin to understand what was going on inside of atoms. The modern understanding of atomic structures is entirely built upon the understanding of quantum physics, even though the macroscopic physical structures that come out of those atoms — whether a grain of sand, a squirrel, or a planet — don’t exhibit the same quantum behaviors that you can see when looking at their smallest pieces.

• Get clear explanations of the core concepts in quantum physics
• Review the math principles needed for quantum physics equations
• Learn the latest breakthroughs and research in the field
• Clarify difficult subjects and equations from your college course

Quantum Physics For Dummies is great a resource for students who need a supplement to the textbook to help them tackle this challenging subject.
