Absolutely. I'll be doing an example later today probably.. but I need to get some actual research done first lol

Alright good. I’m taking mod physics this semester and I’m hoping to learn enough to know when someone BS me about quantum mechanics.

You'll probably be able to start.. but I think that you don't really get a good feel for it until you learn it the Dirac way lol

Understood. I’ll probably take a class in QM next semester or a year from now anyways so I’ll learn it then. Or I can just learn it on my own

You'll probably learn enough in modern to get going reading Griffiths on your own

Isn’t Griffith the go-to guy for E&M? He does QM as well?

Yea he does.. He's unequivocally the guy for EM undergrads.. For QM he's still the go-to, but a lot of people (including me) thinks he stresses too much on the wave function formalism

What’s your research on exactly? Theoretical physics seems broad. I’m also looking forward to Theoretical physics for my graduate studies or astrophysics.

I study theoretical particle physics.. right now I'm finishing up a paper on indirect detection of vector-like dark matter

Vector-like? Does that mean a dark matter behaving like a vector or am I gonna have to wait till your paper is published lol?

It means that it's a Dirac fermion whose term in the lagrangian is a Dirac bilinear that transforms like a Lorentz 4-vector. The term is L ⊃ χ̅ γ^μ χ

I don’t understand all that yet but I’ll come back to it later.What’s the highest math class you’ve taken so far ? The highest level one for my undergrad will be PDE. I’m taking it rn. I’ve taken ODE and Linear algebra and that’s it for undergrad. Is more needed for grad school?
