    About the Course

    Course Overview: https://youtu.be/xyF-MmGNxd0 The 20th century was known as the century of physics. In the past 120 years, concepts such
    as space, time, energy, entropy and particles were understood to much deeper levels. New paradigms of thinking such as relativity and
    quantum mechanics emerged. This course is the second course in the Understanding Modern Physics series, which covers an introduction to
    quantum mechanics, atomic physics and quantum information. We will find (i) How the quantum world is different from our everyday
    experience, and why we need quantum mechanics; (ii) How to describe atoms in fundamental physics, why atoms do not coll...

    Amazing resource. I recommend starting with this course + Susskind's theoretical minimum. You can go anywhere from here:D

    The course starts getting complex pretty fast. Although the professor says it's an introduction to an introduction, it throws mathematical details at you. Week 1 is straightforward and encouraging; nonetheless, if you plan to get an overview of Quantum Mechanics and atoms, it is a good overview to navigate your learning.

    It's very interesting course. I get understading about quantum mecanics in short time. But at week1 will be very useful give more information about complex number and at week4 some examples of propability calculations and vector description of two spin states.

    A good introduction to quantum mechanics that does not require excessive mathematical skills.
