So I am in my final year of high school now, and I'm not studying physics next year. The only thing about 'quantum physics' that we had was emission-spectra, and light-interference. Quantum Physics sounds _Really_ interesting though, so I would love if anyone could point me in the right direction with where and how I start learning this stuff. Thanks:D

- arianvanp 14y agothanks! The books aren't even that expensive. Will definitely check them out!
- asafira 14y agoThis is great to see! Of course, this stuff isn't easy to jump into, but I recommend checking out some of the free online courses for something good. Coursera once had a quantum computer course (!) taught by a pretty famous guy in the field! It didn't have quantum mechanics as a prerequisite, either!
