Quantum Mechanics: The Theoretical Minimum (book)

"Quantum Mechanics: The Theoretical Minimum" is a clear, rigorous introduction to the fundamental principles of quantum physics. It covers concepts like wave-particle duality, superposition, and uncertainty, explaining how particles behave at tiny scales where classical physics no longer applies. The book emphasizes understanding the mathematical framework—such as wave functions and operators—without unnecessary complexity. It's designed for readers who want a solid foundation in quantum theory, bridging intuitive ideas with precise scientific descriptions, providing the essential knowledge needed to grasp the strange but fascinating behavior of matter and energy at the smallest scales.
