I'm 13 and interested in Quantum Physics.

You could probably learn about the basics of Quantum Physics at your age, though you won't be able to go into the advanced stuff.

It's good to see you've got such an interest. Might I suggest possibly looking into how Quantum Physics fits in (or, more accurately, how it doesn't) with General Relativity? That's a fascinating topic of Physics, the search for a unifying theory such as String Theory. I don't think you need a degree-level understanding of Physics to understand it, so you might be interested in that.

You should definitely watch these videos by String Theorist Brian Greene. It's a documentary on String Theory and how it's believed that it might link Quantum Physics with General Relativity. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULlR_pkHjUQ

(For the first video, I suggest skipping to about 5 minutes in. The first five minutes give a basic introduction to what you'll see over the three episodes and a bunch of advertising)

If you have any questions, ask me and I'll discuss them with you.

Age is irrelevant now since you have already passed the 'what' stage but are into 'why' stage. The first three volumes by Sir Richards Philips Feynman should make you indulge into proper quantum mechanics.
I recommend book 'The Meaning of Quantum Theory' by Baggott.

Provided you're keen.

I was also interested in quantum physics and the like since I was little. Gonna throw it out there that reading into it early will really make you frustrated though your school experience. Extra-curricular knowledge is penalised almost because of the way the system seems to work. However you gotta chase what your passionate about right?

Reading into normal physics is good but with quantum physics you gotta throw all that out the window anyway. My advice would be to read every good physics book you can get your hand on. You wont understand much of it at all BUT you'll find that the ideas will stick up there in your head and as you grow up and your understanding of things in general matures... it'll come right back out and you will be able to pick up all the idea's a lot quicker than your peers.

Quantum physics is a very exciting field and age is a little bit of a barrier to understanding anything really. What I mean by that is your potential understanding... You could be 13 and understand something better than an 18 year old does, but when you are 18 you will always understand better than you used to do so get in there early!

1)Times mentioned your age in one post, including title: 3
2)Mentions the "irrelevant" wish to become a "cardiovascular surgeon"
3)Wants to know about quantum Physics
4)Ends the post with some weeaboo, maybe your name, maybe something else...

I-take-you-serious points acquired: -8

I like your passion regarding science, but the sad truth is that it will need time. Smartness doesn't matter that much- rather dedication. Someone who loves to understand quantum physics and wants to be a surgeon of a very specific, difficult (next to neuro-surgery) probably hardest sub-section of surgery sounds rather like a passionate dreamer than a dedicated science-marathon-runner.

I do not say this to diss you. I just want to point out that you should get the basics first. I am a bit like you: I want to be cyberneticist by doing a medical doctorate; a microbiology (focus on virology and immunology) master and a mechatronics/robotics/cognitive science bachelor parallel and another, more specific (cybernetics, bionics or android/robotics ?), Master at Lomonosov Moscow State Uni or Osaka Uni and to crown the efforts with a doctorate at MIT. What I want to do: researching intelligent prosthetics.

How realistic does this sound? Not very. From my own experience I can tell that you should inform yourself about the basic stuff that you need before you start with the big issue: quantum physics.

Therefore do NOT buy scientific books about QP before you don't know about the basics. Otherwise it might confuse you and diminish your... dreamers' enthusiasm. Read popular books about it and make yourself clear WHY you want to know about this. Science has its lean times- therefore you need a solid motivator, a reason, why you want to learn about this. And why you really want to b a surgeon. I think you simply love the challenge. nothing wrong with it, though.

Everything said here is very much true: one would be ignorant to not heed such words.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! + thank you for remaining so positive instead of some others who replied, laughing at me.
I shall do, your advice has made me remain optimistic! <3

I think that you are amazing. I am also disappointed that you have been given thumbs down. You must have understandably assumed that TSR would have contained some of the most supportive people in your aim. Just because they or most people might not understand, or more importantly try to understand, quantum physics at the age of 13 doesn't mean that you won't- and certainly doesn't mean that you shouldn't try to read about it. Yes, maybe they are concerned that you might end up burnt out at the age of 18 but maybe they are also envious that you might go a long way with this. But don't be afraid to do this on your own terms rather than how other people might want you to progress - show people where your talent lies. Obviously, life will be even easier if you can balance this interest, which is not understood by most relatively dumb humans, with 'everyday' interests too. Best wishes , hope it makes you happy, if you're great at it make some money from it and friends from it.

Aww you are cute! ^_^ Nothing wrong with being curious about something that sounds as exciting as Quantum Mechanics, especially at such a (relatively) young age .. although you will have the older cynics who have been through the process of trying to get their heads around it, it is quite interesting to read about, even if you can't thoroughly understand the mathematics behind it.
I think your best bet right now is to read popular books on the topic as many have said before, just to keep your interest up, and ask your teachers at school about text books and things you can read or lectures you can go to regarding the topics you are interested in!
