Hosted on a University of Southampton personal page, this site presents a complete article titled “I Don’t Understand Quantum Physics” by Douglas Ross. It is a text-first resource that walks readers from classical physics into the puzzles that forced a quantum description of nature, rather than a news feed or a software product.
The article is organized into sequential sections: experiments that shook the world, wave-particle duality, matter waves, Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, wavefunctions, quantum tunnelling, superposition and two-state systems, wavefunction collapse, and competing interpretations. Later sections discuss hidden variables, probabilistic determinism and whether quantum physics is correct and complete, with two thought experiments along the way. A glossary, mathematical formulae and references support the main text.
It suits undergraduate students encountering quantum mechanics for the first time, science teachers looking for clear conceptual framing, and general readers willing to follow a long argument. Those seeking problem sets, video lectures or interactive simulations will need other resources.
Reading advice: follow the sections in order, since later topics assume earlier definitions, and keep the glossary open for terms like superposition and hidden variables. The formulae section is optional for conceptual readers. Overall, it is a solid free narrative companion for building intuition before or alongside a formal course.
