Information About
Quantum mechanics is the fundamental theoretical infrastructure upon which all understanding of the nature of the physical world is built. This book is an exposition of that theory presented at the level of a junior-year undergraduate physics student. It aims to build a quantum intuition; to perceive the quantum universe as self-evident.
