# Quantum Mechanics

Hello everyone,

I'm new to Brilliant, but I noticed that there aren't many posts on Quantum Mechanics and it's sad that not many people appreciate the sheer beauty of it :'( I'd really love it if we could set up a space where we could share our ideas and knowledge of QM as one big happy community, or just discuss new or confounding ideas in modern physics.

(I'm posting this in the hope that someone will actually bother to read this and share his/her thoughts?)

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

• Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
• Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
• Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.

Hi Nicole - I'm very intrigued by this idea. If this is something you're passionate about, I'd be happy to work with you to setup a Quantum Mechanics club on Brilliant, where people can share knowledge and contribute interesting problems.

A Quantum Mechanics club on Brilliant would be the icing on the cake.

I made a set on quantum mechanics already, but it is mainly wave mechanics. Matrix mechanics takes a long time to type.

Hi Suyeon, Yes, I really hope we can have a club of some sorts dedicated solely to Quantum Mechanics and I think your suggestion is great! :) I'd be happy to work with you too.

Are you looking for something like this ?

Hi Sudeep, Thanks for sharing these notes with me. I've actually read up on most of this, but I think the notes give in-depth explanations (that is kinda hard to find in books from the library) :)

Well theoretical part of quantum mechanics may be great but you won't want to get into the mathematical part cause it's not in reach of most of us

You mean the conceptual part of QM. The theoretical part is so bizarre that it is far beyond me. Plus math is part of the theory.
