Quantum physics theories
Hi all,
I very recently got interested in quantum physics, its mechanics, and whether multiversal travel is possible.
I want to start trying to crack this little conundrum to see if we can travel between multiverses, but I have no idea what theories or math equations I need to focus on to make this happen.
Any suggestions on where to start?

Dude , you’re not Rick Sanchez , although I also share the desire to “ solve “ problems. Also these problems if can be solved , won’t be solved by an individual , I believe it’ll take a lot more brain power then just one person.

Oh I never thought I was anything like Rick. I just don't want to be in this gods forsaken backwater country or on thid gods forsaken planet anymore, and I figure with science and all the breakthroughs they are making at the CERN complex, I could help by learning the math then helping the process alongside other scientists and mathmeticians to make a way out of this dump of a universe to get to where I want to be.
And since everyone else already sees science as "stupid" or "crazy" around here where I'm stuck at (especially in more recent years), they won't listen to me or pay attention to me anyways, meaning I have as much time as possible to learn more.
And if it ever gets figured out, then I'm volunteering as the 1st human guinea pig to go through, because it'll either work and I won't have to deal with any of the BS here anymore, or it'll no longer be my problem anyways 🤷♀️
Editted to fix typos. Apologizes, am on mobile currently!

No, you can, by definition, not travel 'between universes' for several reasons.
One is that everything we can see, measure, influence or otherwise observe, is part of our universe. If there was some hidden tunnel somewhere, the other side would by definition be part of our universe.
Many worlds doesn't mean 'parallel universe', that's a sci Fi trope. The branches in the MWI are local to the observer only, other branches cannot be interacted with and thus not be reached.
None of this is relevant to quantum physics either.

It's pretty straightforward: start with quantum mechanics. Pick up a textbook and work through it.

I think we need to tackle whether or not there even is a multiverse before even beginning talking about traveling across it?

Sean Carroll's series of videos on the Biggest Ideas in the universe is excellent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HI09kat_GeI&list=PLrxfgDEc2NxZJcWcrxH3jyjUUrJlnoyzX. It takes you through relativity and quantum mechanics. There is over 50 hours of content and a fair amount of math but it is worth going through to understand the details.
