Summary: Volume 3 of The Feynman Lectures on Physics (commonly titled Quantum Mechanics or Quantum Behavior) gathers Richard Feynman’s undergraduate lectures on the quantum description of matter and light. Chapters develop the relation between wave and particle viewpoints, introduce probability amplitudes and the rules for combining them, discuss identical particles, and culminate in the Schrödinger equation and applications. Feynman’s pedagogical priority throughout is building physical intuition through thought experiments and clear conceptual arguments before presenting formal derivations.
