Quantum Mechanics is a branch of physics dealing with the mechanical description of subatomic particles. It explains the behavior of matter and describes the way it interacts with energy at the subatomic level, and relates these observations to day to day life.

The Feynman Lectures On Physics: Quantum Mechanics (Volume - 3) is a compilation of the lectures by Richard P. Feynman, to the undergraduates in California Institute of Technology in 1961-64. It provides students with the necessary insights into the field of Quantum Mechanics. This is considered to be an essential read for anyone looking forward to build a strong foundation in this area.

Richard P. Feynman’s deep knowledge in quantum mechanics can be exploited by the students in The Feynman Lectures On Physics: Quantum Mechanics (Volume - 3). Right from Newtonian physics to theories like relativity and quantum mechanics, detailed explanations for all the topics can be found in this book.

The Feynman Lectures On Physics: Quantum Mechanics (Volume - 3) contains 21 chapters. Some of these are The Relation of Waves and Particles Viewpoints, The Dependence of Amplitudes on Time, The Hydrogen Atom and the Periodic Table, Propagation in a Crystal Lattice, and The Schrodinger Equation in a Classical Context.

This book was published in 1970, and is considered to be Feynman’s most accessible work for physics students. It has been referred to for decades together. It was edited and illustrated into a book by his colleagues, Robert B. Leighton and Matthew Sands. This is not a book just for students of physics, but for anyone who wants to be introduced to this field.
