Why this course? This is an introductory course (Basics) that originates from my desire to share my knowledge of the mysterious and fascinating world of Quantum Physics.

What You Will Learn
- 1. The conceptual foundations of Quantum Physics.
- 2. A comprehensive A-Z guide that will save you a ton of time in searching elsewhere trying to piece all the different information together.
- 3. Quantum Theory without falling into oversimplifications or hyped versions and yet conceived for an audience of non-physicists.
- 4. The double silt experiment, wave particle duality, entanglement, superposition, uncertainty principle, Schrödinger's cat, quantum tunneling and much more.
- 5. A course that fills the gap between a too popularized version of Quantum Mechanics and too high level university courses.
- 6. You will learn all the basics, enabling you to distinguish between mere speculative interpretations in fashion and the real experimental facts.

Requirements
Some lectures resort to high school math and some calculus.
Example: Pythagorean theorem, square root, exponential, sin/cos functions, Cartesian coordinates, vectors, intuitive concept of a derivative, basic notion of a complex number.
However, no university level required. In case you need a mathematical refresh an appendix will help you to recall some elementary mathematical concepts.
Please take your time. Some concepts need time to be assimilated or may need to be viewed more than once. But at the end you will have a clarity of mind on the subject that you won't get elsewhere. It's worth it!
The Udemy course "Physics: from Galileo to Einstein" could be useful (but is not mandatory) to the get in touch with the basic concepts of classical physics and that are used extensively in quantum physics as well.
