This book is the fruit of for many years teaching the introduction to quan-tum mechanics to second-year students of physics at Oxford University. We have tried to convey to students that it is the use of probability amplitudes rather than probabilities that makes quantum mechanics the extraordinary

That theory is known as quantum mechanics, and it is now the basic framework for understanding atomic, nuclear, and subnuclear physics, as well as condensed-matter (or ”solid-state”) physics.
This chapter gives a brief introduction to quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics can be thought of roughly as the study of physics on very small length scales, although there are also certain macroscopic systems it directly applies to.
This course aims to give an introduction to Quantum Mechanics. Let us start with some general context. QM is arguably humanity’s greatest achievement. Actually, forget about the \arguably" part... 2
QUANTUM PHYSICS: Some Basics. 1: QUANTUM BEHAVIOUR. Quantum mechanics confronts us with a remarkable situation. On the one hand, quantum mechanics is by far the most successful scientific theory ever created.
