Leonard Susskind : Quantum Mechanics

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on Leonard Susskind's quantum mechanics lectures, which are primarily available through a YouTube playlist. While some videos are set to private, the first lecture remains accessible and serves as an introduction to the scientific method. Users noted that all ten lectures can also be found as free iTunesU podcasts, although the series is described as lacking mathematical rigor. The discussion highlights the importance of these lectures for students pursuing a theoretical understanding of quantum mechanics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic quantum mechanics concepts
  • Familiarity with the scientific method
  • Basic knowledge of video streaming platforms like YouTube
  • Access to iTunesU for additional resources
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore Leonard Susskind's classical mechanics lectures on iTunesU
  • Watch the available quantum mechanics lectures on YouTube
  • Research the scientific method in the context of physics
  • Investigate other online resources for quantum mechanics education
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, educators seeking teaching resources, and anyone interested in foundational quantum mechanics concepts will benefit from this discussion.

They're set to private dx. A shame because they look and excellent resource.
 
(Must study scientific method). Its one of those days today. :redface:
 
what do you mean? I was able to watch all of them.
 
The first lecture video says its a private video and I can't watch. The others seem ok though.
 
From what I can tell, that listing is missing a video, too. All ten lectures are available as free iTunesU podcasts, as are Susskind's classical mechanics and special relativity lectures. I haven't watched them yet (on my to do list!), but just by looking at the lengths of the videos, it seems like a rather short class, with only 20 hours...Of course, it is called the "theoretical minimum" and is meant for continuing studies students.

The link on the play list doesn't seem to work but if you search for "leonard susskind quantum mechanics 1" on youtube and click on it there it works.
 
wow, this is great. I wasl looking for video lectures on quantum mechanics. Thanks for the link

His lectures aren't as mathematically rigorous as they should be and he doesn't really expand on any concepts. It's the only set of quantum mechanics lectures on the web though, so beggers can't be choosers.
