My questions are: what is the best intro book to quantum mechanics? And, do prime numbers play a part in physics?
There's a couple. I know Griffiths catches a lot of flack (including by me), but it really is quite accessible. My personal favorite by Townsend. Couple these with the MIT OCW lectures and you'll be all set. As for your second question, i'm not sure. But i don't think so.

Thanks for the recommendations. I learned a bit of quantum mechanics in high school, and it was really nice. Maybe the speed of light is prime, but we just don't know the exact number :)

well the speed of light is a constant of the universe, and any number you assign to it that has units will be solely based on a convention. It's most natural to take c=1, which is not prime;)
