The first part of our book will cover some fundamental theory to establish the general framework of quantum mechanics. We will provide some motivation for why quantum mechanics is needed/how it historically arose, establish a formal mathematical framework which we will use to develop theory, acquire some useful tools that will build the foundation of the field, and examine how to model some basic quantum mechanical systems with said tools.
We have a long journey ahead of us, but don’t worry; we will take great care to gently (but thoroughly) introduce the relevant tools for you (the reader) throughout each chapter. Without further delay, on with the show…
