External Resources
Use these sources for a course sequence, primary literature, reference data, or software documentation. For a local explanation, start with the Library; for a reproducible computational investigation, use Labs.
Courses and lecture notes
Section titled “Courses and lecture notes”- MIT 8.04: Quantum Physics I
- MIT 8.05: Quantum Physics II
- MIT 8.06: Quantum Physics III
- John Preskill’s quantum information lecture notes
Research literature
Section titled “Research literature”For an open question, compare a paper’s assumptions and evidence with the relevant Research assessment. An arXiv listing is a discovery tool, not a guarantee of peer review or correctness.
Reference data
Section titled “Reference data”- NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions
- NIST fundamental physical constants
- NIST Atomic Spectra Database
Record conventions, units, and the version or retrieval date when a numerical result depends on an external data source.
Scientific-computing documentation
Section titled “Scientific-computing documentation”A lab’s environment specification identifies the versions used for its recorded checks. Consult the matching software documentation when reproducing or modifying that calculation.
