In 1979, after deducing a set of self-consistent solutions to the equations of the strong interaction, I used Sakurai’s first edition’s exposition of the hydrogen atom to develop a quark-antiquark model. A very useful text. Much better than Feynman’s series for my purposes.
Many years ago, did 4 years of university physics, but ended up being a programmer. Still, at 40, endlessly fascinated, and go through phases of reteaching myself and expanding my understanding. Sick of watching physics documentaries as I don't learn anything new, they refuse to show or explain any real math.
I hear it's not so amazing after chapter 3 (apparently Sakurai died before he finished writing the rest of the book and his friends and colleagues finished the book using his notes)
Still trying to understand what's special about this book... I mean this seems to be the general approach that most quantum mechanics books I know follow
@@charbeleid193 I haven’t been able to take a class on advanced quantum mechanics yet, just random bits here and there so I’m looking forward to it haha

@@zoetropo1 Hey thats really cool! It must have been fun to make that discovery!

I agree most physics media tends to be focused on popular appeal haha
@@mtheorylaboratoryits pretty much for entertainment purposes.. not something like for real educational studies
Please more videos on math physics textbook! I 📖💎📖
@@CrazyShores haha good idea!
beautiful

Oh that's unfortunate

The equation you were looking at is simply what a scalar product looks like in an infinite Hilbert space
