    Fantastic lectures. I had studied QM before but this presentation makes it so comprehensible

    My left ear understood better than my right ear. Thanks prof

    Hi! around @7:48 the subtitle says "and real exponential solutions depend on the sines" 'sines' should be 'signs'
    @15:21 it says "know the sine" but sine -> sign
    @22:29 it says "8x psi plane" it should be "eta-xi plane"

      Thanks for the feedback! The subtitles have been updated. :)

    Awesome thanks prof 😅 I am watching from Algeria I am a theoretical physicist and qm is crucial for us , or for all modern physics in general 😅

    If you’re able to learn quantum mechanics you can learn it here

    ok i think some mistakes are there we can t ignore the negative signs because wave function changes ..

    great lecture. Whoever that was coughing like a person on their deathbed, take some cough drops man. That was so distracting

      Or even better would be to stay at home, and so preventing the whole lecture hall from getting infected. Annoying and also inconsiderate

      @@TonalWorks you think that was annoying there is someone in my one lecture that constantly snorts his snot, like the snoring noise, during the first test they were going at it every like 20 or maybe less seconds for an hour and twenty minutes

    at 19:51 the kappa square + k square = some quantity , But left hand side is unit less but right hand side have some units how it is possible

    • @BL1zZ4Rth

      They are all unit-free.
      [ V0 ] = [ E ] = [ M L^2 T^-2 ]
      [ hbar ] = [ E T ] = [ M L^2 T^-1 ]
      [ m ] = [ M ]
      [ a ] = [ L ]
      k^2 = (2m) (hbar^-2) (V0 - |E|) => [ k^2 ] = [ (M) (E^-2 T^-2) (E)] = [ (M) (E^-1) T^-2 ] = [ M (M^-1 L^-2 T^2) T^-2 ] = [ L^-2 ] =>
      => [ η ] = [ ka ] = [ (L^-2)^(1/2) L ] = [ 1 ] thus unitless ,same with η^2 and we get the same result for κ (kappa) and by extension ξ and ξ^2, since the only difference between k and κ(kappa) is the replacement of the term (V0 - |E|) with |E| which we already know have the same units.
      Now using that [ k^2 ] = [ L^-2 ] ,from the end of my first line of calculation we get:
      z0^2 = (2m hbar^-2 V0) (a^2) => [ z0^2 ] = [ k^2 a^2 ] = [ L^-2 L^2 ] = [ 1 ] and thus is also unitless.

    My professor did her post-doc at MIT and she cannot teach quantum mechanics at all. I had to go to the source to find a better instructor xD

    Sir what is the difference between particle in potential well and particle in a box?

    • @res0nanc320
      @res0nanc320 5 лет назад +1

      The 'box' is a specific potential well.

    • @vishnuakundi4766
      @vishnuakundi4766 3 года назад +1

      The box is 3-dimensional and so you will have partial derivates wrt the 3 coordinates of position (instead of just d/dx)

    14:06 if we are trying to find energy eigenstates , then they are supposed to be orthonormal anyways. why try to normalize at all?

    Can you do something about the noise from the audience. It is very hard to listen to the instructor with all the background noise.

  • @adosar7261
    @adosar7261 5 лет назад

    Does any force exist in this potential well ? Both inside and outside the well the derivative of potential energy with respect to position is 0 therefore zero force. So what is the point to have 2 different potentials ?
