I'm interested in teaching myself quantum mechanics, and I'm looking for a good goal to aim for.
I've got an undergrad maths degree and a graduate degree in probability theory and stochastic processes. I've worked fairly extensively with diffusion processes, so I understand how the Fokker-Planck equation works, for example.
As far as I understand, the Fokker planck equation is related to the Schrodinger equation via something called a Wick rotation. I'm a bit hazy on the details, but I think this may have been Feynman's approach to QM.
If anyone could recommend a text for someone with my background (linear algebra, group theory, ODE and PDE, probability), but with relatively little experience in physics, that would be very helpful.
The maths shouldn't be a problem, but there's a chance I'll just get bored unless I have a specific goal. Maybe deriving the emission spectra of various atoms, or understanding quantum computing. Any other suggestions?
