With Leonard Susskind's Stanford continuing ed course, does the "New Directions in Particle Physics" start where the Quantum Mechanics series ends, covering QFT or is there going to be a separate QFT series from him?

The order of his lectures can be found on his wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Susskind

Looking at the content of Partial Physics 1: Basic Concepts that is a QFT course. However, I would imagine you'd need to have done the Special Relativity and Classical Field Theory course first.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
