How to Understand Quantum Mechanics presents an accessible introduction to understanding quantum mechanics in a natural and intuitive way, which was advocated by Erwin Schr�odinger and Albert Einstein. A theoretical physicist reveals dozens of easy tricks that avoid long calculations, makes complica...
