Quantum mechanics can be a tough subject to learn if you are not a college physics student. You can only get so far by reading popular science articles and books. How can you break through to a deeper level of understanding? You may not want to be able to actually perform calculations in quantum mechanics; however, you would like a basic understanding of how quantum mechanics works.

The goal of this website is to move you past the popular science level of understanding. The choice, organization, and expression of content have been carefully planned to give you a fighting chance. Here is some of the work you will need to do along the way:

• Become comfortable with jargon terms such as eigenstate, probability amplitude, and superposition.
• Think in terms of the state of a quantum entity rather than the physical entity itself. We can think of the quantum state as a representation of everything we can possibly know about the entity.
• Embrace some thoughtfully presented mathematics such as complex numbers, eigenfunctions, and the Schrödinger equation.

The rewards of understanding will be well worth the work.
