Hello everybody,

I'm Roberto 32 years old from Italy. I work as web developer but I have an interest in science.
I was learning about quantum physics and a question came into my mind.
So I searched for places like this where I can discuss about physics with other people.

Welcome to PF!

A good reference for Quantum Mechanics is the Leonard Susskind book:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/0465062903/?tag=pfamazon01-20

It gets into more detail and more the way a physicist understands QM than any popular science book. There is some level of math required but he wrote the book for folks interested in QM who have been out of college for 20 years or so.

Please take some time to read our guidelines (see link below in my signature) as we are a heavily moderated site and there are some fringe science topics that we don't discuss like perpetual motion or other topics that appear to violate the laws of physics as we know them today.
