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:

Other universities seemed to not want to be left behind by MIT and posted their lectures on youtube.
Berkeley

Stanford

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.

And books (not videos) at http://freescience.info/Physics.php?id=91" :smile:

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.

Math videos from the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications (IMA).

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.

FAQ: Quantum Mechanics, video lectures

1. What is Quantum Mechanics?

Quantum Mechanics is a branch of physics that deals with the behavior of matter and energy on a very small scale, such as atoms and subatomic particles. It describes how particles behave and interact with each other on a quantum level, which is different from how they behave in classical physics.

2. How does Quantum Mechanics differ from classical mechanics?

In classical mechanics, objects are described as particles with definite positions and velocities. However, in Quantum Mechanics, particles are described by wave functions that represent probabilities of finding the particle in a certain location or with a certain velocity. This means that the behavior of particles can be unpredictable and uncertain on a quantum level.

3. What is the role of uncertainty in Quantum Mechanics?

Uncertainty is a fundamental part of Quantum Mechanics. It is described by Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, which states that it is impossible to know the exact position and momentum of a particle simultaneously. This is because the act of measuring one property of a particle affects the other property, making it impossible to have precise knowledge of both.

4. How does entanglement work in Quantum Mechanics?

Entanglement is a phenomenon in Quantum Mechanics where two or more particles become connected in such a way that the state of one particle can affect the state of the other, even when they are separated by large distances. This concept is still not fully understood, but it has been observed and is an important aspect of Quantum Mechanics.

5. Can Quantum Mechanics be applied to everyday life?

While Quantum Mechanics is most commonly applied in the field of physics, it has also been used in various technologies, such as transistors and lasers. However, its effects are not usually noticeable in everyday life. Quantum Mechanics is also being researched for potential applications in fields such as computing and cryptography. Overall, while Quantum Mechanics may not directly impact our daily lives, it has had significant implications in the world of science and technology.
