Is quantum mechanics hard?
I actually find quantum slightly easier than classical physics. Not that it's actually easier, but the problems that people are normally in about quantum happens to be something I'm decent at.Yes even basic physics was hard for me. So quantum physics must be even more so, possibly the hardest topic on the planet. But if you break down the concepts to simpler ones and build up your understanding, it won't be as hard.
I haven't studied quantum physics in depth but I am guessing you find it easier due to it being more focused on abstract ideas rather than math formulas?I actually find quantum slightly easier than classical physics.

I need to know the answerdoes pope shit in the forest?
did u finish ur bio degree yet btwI wanted to study Quantum Mechanics so I could get a better understanding of chemical bonding but the pre-requisite math and physics is so high I doubt I would be doing it soon.
I guess that high barrier is what makes it a "tough" subject to enter into,
No I still have an year left. Will probably do a Masters after this then PhD.did u finish ur bio degree yet btw
I think quantum tends to be harder if you try to re-establish classic results in terms of quantum, but a quantum course tends to focus on the very basics of matrix theory/linear algebra and doesn't go very far from there unless it's a graduate-level course from the physics department. So I would say yes, it's more abstract but also tends to be more fundamental. I find it more difficult to understand how different objects interact in a complex classical system than simple quantum concepts such as no-cloning, which can be explained with well-known facts about the Hilbert space.I haven't studied quantum physics in depth but I am guessing you find it easier due to it being more focused on abstract ideas rather than math formulas?
