    Richard Feynman discusses Quantum Mechanics in a workshop at Esalen. Topics are: Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, Bell's theorem and the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox.
    I decided to upload this workshop, because I could not find it youtube. I think everybody should have the pleasure of experiencing Feynman's teaching, even if you cannot afford the DVDs.

    The bit we missed before part 1:
    The 3 charges may each be in a state of red or green.
    The light is initially off.
    Pressing a charge's button shows its state via the bulb.
    It shows red/green equally often for the first press.
    Repeated pressing of the same button keeps showing the same information.
    Pressing the button for different next charge sets it to the opposite state of the previous charge with probability 3/4.
    The color shown is the ongoing state of the charge.

    This is perhaps one of those things that save RUclips. Without YT or something similar, it would be difficult to find videos of Feynman talking to a classroom. Now, a couple of clicks, or a quick search, and you feel like you are in the room with him. We live in a privileged time.

  • @Drostie
    @Drostie 11 лет назад

    If you want jargon so you can look up the details, the three buttons measure the x, y, and z axes of the "Bloch sphere" of a qubit. In the Dirac notation they measure in the three bases: the z-basis is |0>, |1>, the x-basis is sqrt(1/2)(|0> + |1>), sqrt(1/2)(|0> - |1>), and the y-basis is sqrt(1/2)(|0> + i |1>), sqrt(1/2)(|0> - i |1>). The boxes start out in an entangled state like sqrt(1/2) (|00> + |11>), so that whenever you get "red" for button z on box 1, you get the same on box 2.

    I'm not sure I said anything about Pauli matrices, but the pauli matrices are certainly used to describe averages and rotations on the Bloch sphere, and I could certainly tell you about those. However, in a deeper sense I was wrong: re-watching this, though x, y, and z buttons are an interesting way to explore a similar concept, they don't generate the same statistics that Feynman was talking about. I'd have to think about what you need to get those statistics.

  • @craxd1
    @craxd1 8 лет назад +6

    I don't know why that the gentleman in the audience, had a problem with the math. Feynman is very correct, that one can only measure something so small, and that would dictate ending the formulas sum at that amount, however, the theoretical formula's sum could continue on and on, to such an infinite, unmeasurable, and minute amount, that it mattered not. That is why numbers are rounded off, because after so far, it matters not, even though the actual number continues to infinity. That is like dividing 1 by 3. If thinking about nuclear weight, say of an atom, that is rounded off, too. Nature, for some reason, is built around, and loves the number 3, like our 3 dimensions, and cubed numbers. These can equate sums of infinity in the formulas.

    • @jamespfp
      @jamespfp 8 лет назад

      +craxd1 I think the questions he answered weren't about a math problem so much as a symbol translation problem. How do the diagrams relate to reality, or where in nature do we find them? Feynman explains by showing how any given diagram deals provides all the necessary information to work out the approximate answer and is limited to to the order of magnitude; and so when he's asked specifically (approximately 15:10 and onward) he says "each is a piece".
      It is basically a reiteration of Feynman's basic defence of quantum electrodynamics as well, which is that it agrees with experimental data to incredible degrees of precision, and therefore that each new discovery should have a corresponding set of diagrams to begin to explain how the parts we can cannot see are working, from the parts we can only now begin to see... ("We find them all, as nearly as we can measure!")

    It may be said that one can honestly say that with a thorough understanding of CIG Theory, that one understands Quantum, and Classical, and the difference between the two. But of course I am biased. However, for any Physicists on their deathbed, that deathbed upon which we will all lay one day, and have been struggling for years with the Quantum Confusion, that CIG Theory will be soothing, that CIG will give them a profound sense of accomplishment, that they will find that the reality of reality finally makes sense. So, if you know of any Physicists that would like this accomplishment, please bring CIG Theory to their attention. I believe it will bring them smiles.
