I tried to read Griffiths once, but I couldn't learn that way. I wish there were a path to learn quantum mechanics from a programmer's point of view, with "how to" knowledge rather than only the declarative language of mathematical equations. When I look at a differential equation like the wave function in the first pages of the Griffiths book, I don't see it. But when I look at the code to compute a derivative or integral, and can build up pieces and see it plotted on the screen, it starts to make sense. If anyone knows a good set of books to take this approach, please post.
- stared 9y agoYou mean something in this line? http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/jrjohansson/qutip-lectures/blob/master/Lecture-0-Introduction-to-QuTiP.ipynb http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/jrjohansson/qutip-lecture... For QM my strong suggestion is to start with 2-level states anyway (vide http://p.migdal.pl/2016/08/15/quantum-mechanics-for-high-school-students.html http://p.migdal.pl/2016/08/15/quantum-mechanics-for-high-sch...).
- rnikander 9y agoThanks! Those links give me a lot to explore. I'm trying the game... level 4 just taught me something.
