Quantum Mechanics, video lectures

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around resources for studying Quantum Mechanics (QM), specifically focusing on video lectures available online. Participants share links to various educational institutions that provide QM lectures, as well as suggestions for downloading these videos for offline viewing.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • Participants share multiple links to universities offering QM video lectures, including MIT, Berkeley, Stanford, Yale, and NPTEL.
  • Some participants express a preference for downloadable video courses due to slow internet speeds.
  • Suggestions are made for tools and methods to download videos from platforms like YouTube and other educational sites.
  • Additional resources are mentioned, including links to courses on quantum field theory and astrophysics from Yale and Harvard.
  • Some participants highlight the availability of free courses on platforms like iTunes U and other OpenCourseWare (OCW) sites.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the availability of various resources for QM video lectures, but there is no consensus on the best method for downloading these videos or which specific resources are most useful.

Contextual Notes

Some participants note that certain sites may allow downloads while others may not, and there is variability in the formats available for offline viewing.

Who May Find This Useful

This discussion may be useful for students and self-learners interested in Quantum Mechanics who are seeking video resources and methods for accessing them offline.

I am self-studying QM, Please tell me what is the thread to the videos about QM.
Thank you for helping in advance~

Hi Sillyboy! :smile:

Here's a selection :wink:

Yale

NPTEL (India, Bangelore?)

NPTEL has good lectures on quantum physics. MIT has statistical physics (but mostly thermodynamics).

Unrelated, but I definitely recommend the stanford lectures on Fourier transforms, it's pretty awesome!

Greetings

I am not sure if was posted or not but at Yale university website one can find video lectures of the course by R.Shankar, the author of the book "Principles of Quantum Mechanics" if I am not mistaken. Enjoy

This contains many links to physics video lectures on quantum chromodynamics (QCD) from CERN - introduction to QCD, QCD and collider physics, QCD Phenomenology etc.

Hi, Tiny-tim, So~
I think I want some video courses, which can be downloaded from the web.
I do not want to watch them on the net, hehe, because my web speed is frickingly slow~
Please, tell me where I can download them~
Thank you~

Another option is that you find out how to download Youtube videos. Just google for it. I think there's even a Firefox add-on that does it for you.
 
some more qm video lectures

Here's some more sites …

The following site provides a good collection of links to audio/video courses and lectures in physics from educational institutions around the world.

http://www.infocobuild.com/education/audio-video-courses/physics/physics.html

The courses and lectures include general physics, classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, field theory, general relativity, special relativity and scientific computing.

Hey y'all:

This is a sort of follow up to the thread: 'New Yale Internet Physics resource'

In addition to PHYS 200 - Fundamentals of Physics, Fall 2006, they have put up the videos and materials for ASTR 160 - Frontiers and Controversies in Astrophysics, Spring 2007 at:

http://oyc.yale.edu/astronomy/frontiers-and-controversies-in-astrophysics

A full list of available courses (more to come are promised) is at:

http://oyc.yale.edu/courselist

Harvard has a whole buttload of courses, etc on video freely available. Not only are the 1975 Sydney Coleman lectures for Physics 253: Quantum Field Theory available, but several other of his lectures. Tons of other stuff as well-- check out the following links and don't forget to come out for food and daylight occasionally:

General Page:
http://www.physics.harvard.edu/about/video.html

Loeb Lectures:
http://www.physics.harvard.edu/about/loeb.html

Monday Colloquium Archive
http://www.physics.harvard.edu/about/MonColloqArch.html

most of these are streaming in flash (I think)... but if you want to DL them in order to watch at your off-line convenience, options include (as previously mentioned by others) 'Download Helper' - a free plugin for Mozilla Firefox, also various .flv downloaders (these are the same kind of things used to download youtube videos). .flv is a flash format file. You should be able to play .flv files in windows with the correct drivers installed, otherwise there are many freely available utilities to convert file formats. YMMV.

Many of the OCW sites allow you to download the videos instead of stream them. Just do some research.

There are some free on iTunes U as well - the Susskind ones, I think.
