This is the worst possible example.
Learning basic QM is 90% complex differential equations and 10% physical intuition.
There is a reason why you generally don't get to introductory quantum mechanics until second year after (or while) you're doing calculus, differential equations and linear algebra.
To quote a lecture I once saw: the deepest point of any state is a mine shaft somewhere. You don't find that shaft by gradient descent.
- p-christ 4y agowhy does that make it the worst possible example?
- thrown_22 4y agoBecause learning quantum mechanics isn't about learning quantum mechanics, it's about learning a bunch of maths to learn quantum mechanics. It doesn't matter how much of the wiki page you remember, without understanding a few key pieces you're wasting your time.
