Quantum Mechanics

Quantum mechanics is a branch of physics which deals with physical phenomena at microscopic scales, where the action is on the order of the Planck constant



Action : It is defined in the classical physics by time integration Lagrangian L = (T - V) of a system.

           
where T is the kinetic-energy and V is potential energy of the system.


Most commonly, the term is used for a functional S which takes a function of time and (for fields) space as input and returns a scalar. 
                          
\mathcal{S}[\mathbf{q}(t)] = \int_{t_1}^{t_2} L[\mathbf{q}(t),\dot{\mathbf{q}}(t),t]\, dt
I think the wikipedia  is really a good document to have an initial understanding of Classical mechanics and variation calculus. 

Key factors of the Quantum mechanics :-
1) Wave-particle duality :- According to De Broglie hypothesis  Every wave is a particle and vice-verse.
\begin{align}
& \lambda = h/p\\
& f = E/h
\end{align}
where h is Planck's constant, E and p are Energy and momentum respectively. More λ is the wavelength and f is the frequency
2) Light is an accumulation of particle named photon :- Light is a wave and particle according to the De-Broglie hypothesis, the particles of light is called photon. 
The nature can be described as the particle interaction as well as the Wave superposition.
This is a nice video of Quantum Object Nature . :)

3) Wave Mechanics :- The behavior of wave particle is been discussed in the wave mechanics. 
Schrödinger Equations paved the root of this mechanics.
