From the bestselling author of The Theoretical Minimum , an accessible introduction to the math and science of quantum mechanics “If you want to know how physicists really think about the world, this book is the place to start.”?Sean Carroll, author of The Particle at the End of the Universe First he taught you classical mechanics. Now, physicist Leonard Susskind teams 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 New York Times best-selling The Theoretical Minimum , Susskind and Friedman provide a lively introduction to this famously difficult topic by illustrating the behavior of sub-atomic objects through mathematical abstractions. Unlike other popularizations that shy away from quantum mechanics' weirdness, Quantum Mechanics embraces it. 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. Approachable yet rigorous, Quantum Mechanics provides a tool kit for amateur scientists to learn physics at their own pace. Review: Review... Quantum Mechanics..the theoretical minimum - A difficult subject explained threadbare and beautifully...hats off Review: A Must Must Have - If you are really frustrated by not understanding Quantum Mechanics and wants to understand Quantum mechanics Conceptually then this is the book you must have .

Perfect if want to start from scratch with no prerequisite
I have been reading the book for quite a while now and totally impressed at how fluently the ideas are conveyed. It feels as if you are on journey along with the author while exploring the forest of quantum world. Totally worth giving a try. I am excited for the special and general relativity parts. Will order them once I finish this one

Classic
Excellent book. Crystal clear explanation. A master piece by an excellent teacher and a great physicist. Fonts are large, so no stress on eyes. A pleasure to read.

Written by one of the founding fathers of String Theory, this book (second in his theoretical minimum series) is sure to become a classic. Susskind is truly a great teacher. Focusing only on the bare essentials and cutting a lot of unnecessary crap, this is truly THE book for the intelligent and curious beginner, provided of course she/ he is willing to put in a decent amount of effort and has at least an amount of mathematical maturity corresponding to 1st year college level. I only hope that Susskind publishes the other books of the series soon.

Nicely written introductory text
Well written introductory text. Read the first three chapters and loved it. All maths required is covered. One of the best wtitten books I ve read after Sears Zemansky (Physics) Free lectures by the author also available.

Quantum Entanglement
It has the best explanation of quantum entanglement that I have encountered so far.

The best Quantum Mechanics "seeder" book
The book begins with simple and accessible language and increases in difficulty according to the theme, without ever losing clarity. In it, many scholars find new themes of mathematics and physics to be studied. The book together with the course that Professor Leonard Susskind and Stanford University make available for free on YouTube (in English) is enough to begin to understand the immensity of this theme that is applied to everything we use in our day to day, both in electronics as in medicine. Anyone who thinks that Quantum Mechanics is only theoretical is wrong. So, don't think twice, buy the book and watch the 10 classes of 2 hours each on YouTube for free and start understanding more advanced books on the subject.

Introducción a la mecánica cuántica
Una excelente y peculiar introducción a la mecánica cuántica, con la participación de Leonard Susskind, uno de los padres de la teoría de cuerdas. El texto es relativamente sencillo, pero riguroso. Hay que tener en cuenta de que libro va dirigido a personas que tengan una cierta formación científica-matemática. Yo diría como mínimo un estudiante de ciencias (física, química, matemáticas) de 2º curso. Se necesita también cierto nivel de inglés. Aunque este libro está traducido, yo la que tengo es la versión en el idioma original. Desconozco si la versión traducida al castellano es buena o no. Las lecciones vienen con bastantes ejercicios, que no vienen resueltos en el libro, aunque hay un página web con las soluciones donde se pueden comprobar los resultados. No recuerdo la dirección de la página ahora, pero no es difícil encontrar.
