Video Lectures for Quantum Mechanics?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the availability and quality of video lectures for quantum mechanics, with a focus on resources suitable for upper division undergraduates and high school students. Participants share various sources and express their interest in the depth of content covered in these lectures.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about the existence of video lectures for quantum mechanics and seeks recommendations for the best options.
  • Another participant mentions Leonard Susskind's series of lectures available on YouTube, suggesting they may be suitable for graduate-level study.
  • A participant expresses uncertainty about the depth of Susskind's lectures, questioning whether they are introductory or cover topics in sufficient depth for serious study.
  • A high school student contributes by acknowledging their limited ability to assess the quality of the lectures but expresses a strong interest in physics.
  • Additional resources are provided, including a quantum mechanics course available on iTunes U from Oxford University and links to other courses and lectures.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the suitability of the recommended lectures for different educational levels, and there is uncertainty regarding the depth of content in Susskind's lectures.

Contextual Notes

Some participants' contributions reflect varying levels of familiarity with quantum mechanics, and there are assumptions about the audience's background knowledge that may affect the relevance of the suggested resources.

Who May Find This Useful

Students at various educational levels interested in quantum mechanics, educators looking for teaching resources, and anyone seeking to enhance their understanding of the subject through video lectures.

Are there any? If so, which are the best ones?

(Upper Division Undergrad)

Leonard Susskind has a series of lectures on youtube through Stanford:
If you are looking at graduate lectures I would recommend the following: http://pirsa.org/C09021/2

thanks for links, kevin.
Graduate classses are way out of my league, but do you know if Susskind's lectures are just introductory or they cover QM topics in depth so that I can use them as a major source of study
 
I'm not sure, the fact is I'm a high school student so I'm probably not the best person to assess the quality of the lectures although I'm extremely interested in Physics and I usually know where to find the lectures and answer some of the less complex questions occasionally.
