Quantum physics is a vast field, what are you interested in? The basics like single particle quantum mechanics, or quantum field theory, or something very specific like entanglement, the Higgs mechanism, or quantum electrodynamics?
Some areas are more amenable to classical analogies than others which in turn somewhat dictates how far you can get without math. But I would say generally quantum physics just requires math if you want to get more than a very rough and superficial picture. The classical world we developed our intuitions in is just a very strange world as compared to the way nature really works at a fundamental level and so we are not well equipped to understand the world at those scales.
- 0xFFC 9y agoI want an introduction to. Getting familiar myself with different topics.
