@Electronification Firstly, it's a fucking joke. Secondly, that's a big fat no - the difference is that a degree demonstrates your ability to apply your learning.

Took a quantum mechanics course from a desi guru who happens to be among the toppers and I gave up thinking I'm not good enough..this guy made me go over 6 lectures in a week and still hungry to go over again....inspiration is the key to make passionate innovators or scientists or teachers...I wish I had them...good luck to all of you lucky ones who gets to be inspired in early days..inspire your little ones too...
That's the problem I have with my quantum mech course. Solid professor --completely uninspired. The material is very interesting but he is so damn dry...
Heisenberg and Schrodinger are speeding down the highway when a state cop pulls them over. The cop walks up to the window and asks Heisenberg, "Do you know how fast you were going?" Heisenberg replies, "No, but I knew where I was." The cop says, "You were going over 90 miles per hour!" To which Heisenberg replies, "Fine. Now we're lost." Thinking this answer is a little strange, the cop decides to investigate the vehicle. He begins by opening the trunk. Shocked by what he finds, he shouts, "You have a dead cat in here!" Schrodinger answers, "Well I do now!"
Rene Descartes goes into a sandwich bar and says, "I'll have a chicken bap please." The shop worker says, "I can't serve you that but you may have a turkey baguette." Rene Descartes says "Oh I think not." And disappears. With Best Wishes! Cheers - Mike.
Believe me, the content presented in the lecture is not rigorous at all compared to other stuff in QM. However, HW assignments are most likely from hell.
I'm sure by now they no longer teach anything but Racisms ,Nothing else matters You don't need that crappy education you need racisms. Your a Victim start acting the part damnit.
however, this content was not rigorous. especially by mit standards. the first lecture is always a softball so a wider audience can watch. either way, I am sure he remains engaging even when the content does become rigorous
I concur. This is what engagement looks like. Most professors approach their lectures with a self-requirement that they want to present the information to students in a clear & concise way. This guy wants to create the thrill of curiosity and discovery in his students.
Feynman taught similarly. His lectures are naturally quite outdated along the fringes but the basic concepts remain the same and his enthusiasm is utterly infectious. I think they may be some of the lectures this prof was referring to.
I went to a very well-known university and in 4 years I only had one professor who was as engaging and passionate about his subject as this guy. Kudos to MIT!
Gotta admit. I’m in bed watching stuff to try to dose off (sleepy but can’t sleep), and I figured this should do the trick. I ended up watching the whole lecture and now feel wide awake. More professors need his enthusiasm. I’ve never seen a classroom applaud following the conclusion of a lecture, but this man earned it.
Yes, I also ended up in a sleep superposition. Both tired and not tired, asleep and not asleep. I wonder if I watch this one night a week, for six months, If I fall asleep 50% of the time?
😵💫 Fell asleep watching a Tesla 3-6-9 vortex video, woke up just as this ended. After having the WEIRDEST dream in decades, which I have to share: I was in college, & victim of pranksters in a dorm. I lost the pranks war & woke seeing that they had removed the tire from the left rear of my car. Not the rim, it was still there, on the car with the jack laying next to it 😳 🤔 Never fall asleep watching math videos!
The most nourishing bit of information in this lecture is at the very end. Our intuition is formed from experience in the macroscopic world, which is totally different from the microscopic quantum world. This explains our frustration with counter intuitive results when trying to understand quantum experiments, since our intuition is not adapted to the quantum domain. Its like learning a new language. Thank you MIT for sharing.
I was quite sucky at physics in high school, but I've always been really fascinated by QM, even though I never really got a full grasp of it. Now having found this video, I'm starting to get the basics and that honestly feels amazing! I've never seen such an enthusiastic and fun prof. as Prof. Adams & am really glad I have the opportunity to listen to him teach! :)
¨I never really got a full grasp of it¨ Here are some quotes from the greatest Physicists of all time: Quantum mechanics makes absolutely no sense Roger Penrose If it is correct, it signifies the end of physics as a science Albert Einstein I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics Richard Feynman If you are not completely confused by quantum mechanics, you do not understand it John Wheeler I do not like it, and I am sorry I ever had anything to do with it Erwin Schrödinger
Hey! Here is some 3D illustrations about the subject: ruclips.net/p/PLkyBCj4JhHt-80ttR5a_fwtFO4SwDAFld&si=A9QYx-o3rRhTDvP8 Eugenes channel is one of My favourite ones! Btw, If someone smart could find a away to increase brain activity Via magnetic Fields, would it make us smarter or think faster? What about feelings? And If there's anyone good on chemistry, how about creating a drink that would increase endorfines to help us all 😅! What a lovely a idea, to feel great all The Time.
Allan Adams is a fantastic lecturer - he has a real gift for teaching. This is BY FAR the clearest presentation of quantum mechanics you will find on the internet. Wonderfully coherent - thanks MIT. (I took a QM course at the University of Illinois ~35 years ago. Unfortunately I did not appreciate the beauty and richness of this subject. Had I - I may have switched majors from Nuclear Engineering to Physics!)
Had me locked in the entire way. I'm taking away much more than just knowledge, but also how to share ideas in a way people will listen, and enjoy. Give that man a raise!
My goodness. If I had a teacher like this guy in high school maybe I wouldve been so inspired to work hard and go to a great university. He did a phenomenal job, hard to believe this is all live almost.
You can get great professors in big state schools and small unique private colleges. I promise there is more teachers like this than positions open there are good teachers to be found
Prof Adams makes a difficult and ambiguous subject easy to understand. I watched several videos on this subject to no avail but this clearly is the way it should be explained. Thanks.
The statement is full of meaning. It implies the existance of emergent phenomena, that is systems that are more than the sum of their parts. This is one theory of where conciouness comes from, one that is not incompatible with the idea of sentient AI life in the future. Emergent phenomena also explain phase changes and why macroscopic systems behave differently than microscopic systems. What are all y'all on about?
MIT, thank you so much for releasing these material on the internet. I'm a brazillian chemistry student and we have a big lack of good material to study around here. We need to spend a giant amount of money for a good book, and theese video classes really help me to improve my knowledge and i'm certain that it helps a bounch of others students that can't get a good material to study so easily.
Allan Adams is a great professor. As a business student w no interest in physics, i am chocked to find myself passionately watching this video. The way in which he engages students is indeed a talent.
The applause at the end truly shows how amazing of a professor Adams is. Thank you MIT OCW for allowing the rest of the world to experience a professor whose lectures cause students to applaud.
It's incredible to think that everyone in that room has now graduated and is incredibly accomplished in their own right. That's beautiful. I wonder where they all are...
You and me both. I might support PBS with a few more dollars. We do a very poor job of supporting lifelong learning in the US and that needs to change if we are going to be a technology leader.
@David Roberts Nature and NOVA are some of their most popular broadcasts so I think that they could, but many people have given up on them because of constant reruns of 30-year-old programs.
Boy oh boy if I had a professor of this class back in my university times here in Finland. Now at the age of 36 I thought that I'm getting stupid and old engineer when I tried to wrap my head around quantum physics, but it seems that reading literature isn't just enough if you don't have great professors like Adams to guide you through the basic concept of something complete new. Thank you for these videos MIT!
so sad you don't do this anymore, you're so good at it. 10:50 the experiments are so unsettling you have to tell the class that you're not lying to them. I love it.
Thank you MIT, I'm 14 and I'm really fascinated about this, although I may not understand some of it, thank you for making these lectures public for all to learn.
This is really awesome what MIT is doing, especially for those who already completed school or who are currently working full time jobs with an interest in studying QM. Thank you so much! :D
9:40 is where the actual lecture starts, for those who want to skip through the part where he's going over logistics for the students in the actual class.
I remember watching his lectures during my third year of medicine, honestly it made me consider changing to physics, but then the later lectures came along with all the math and I’ve never been more sure about choosing medicine. But it has to be said what an amazing lecturer he is, and how amazing physics and creation is.
@@davidmartineztorres8731 honestly very little, for most doctors we need to be able to calculate drug doses and concentrations, but nothing beyond basic algebra
OMG! I have never seen such a passionate and amazing teacher. I had a constant smile throughout and some good laughs during the lecture. Professor Allan Adams, you rock. Every student deserves a teacher like you. That's how to create curiosity and thrill for the subject among students.
Sadly, a lot of students who DO have professors like him still don't come out with "curiosity and thrill for the subject" because they're just incredibly lazy lol.
Thank you for making this available! It's a fascinating topic, and while I'm an engineer I definitely approach QM from a philosophical perspective. I love the energy that Professor Adams conveys during the lecture.
Holy Shit!! Season 4 is finally out!!! I've honestly been waiting for 5 years for this lecture series. Bah I think I need to go back and watch all the previous Seasons to familiarise myself with the plot again. Thanks MIT!
The man who made me fall in love with QM ! This isn’t just a class , this is an experience ! The best part : His illustrations and visualisations ! Thank you Prof.Adams
Prof. Allan, stumbled on his video lectures. Looking to test my capacity. His lectures are smooth, easy to understand. Then found open courseware. Prof. Allen's teaching is a diverse style which is needed much. Thank you for dedication to reach many that want to learn.
I knew instantly what experiment he was describing in the first part of the lecture and then he said silver atoms and confirmed it for me. The stern-gerlach experiment is one of the cooler ones I’ve ever studied.
What a great line - "the miracle is not that electrons behave oddly, the miracle is that when you take 10^27 electrons, they behave like cheese!" Awesome!
What does "cheese" mean? I sometimes have a tendency to interpret phrases literally-I feel like this is one of those times-yet I can't imagine what the figurative meaning of "cheese" could be.
@@astro_penguin_it's just a joke he literally means that its crazy that all of those chaotic electrons can come together to create something as ordered as cheese
That was beautiful. It pains me to hear people say that they "hate math" or "hate physics" or hate any subject. Hopefully, we can all eventually develop into knowledgeable and passionate educators such as Professor Adams, even if not in professional teaching capacities.
@@robertmccully2792 He said "I agree with Professor Lewin" professor lewin is another professor of physics in MIT (not the prof in this video) Lewin said this guy is "knowledgable and good teacher" that's why he says "I agree with lewin"
I dropped out of high school, never graduated college, and was able to follow this lecture and understand the explanation. Such an interesting lecturer with a tremendous ability to translate complicated theory into lamens terms. I'm an idiot but I really appreciated his approach to explain something in terms that I could understand. I wish I was as smart as all the people he teaches.
What an amazing professor... I mean this is what it means to study at a top university such as MIT. Their quality of teaching is absolutely impeccable and they hire the world's best teachers. Those select group of elite students attending these lectures are extremely fortunate.
00:00 Learn quantum mechanics with intuition through problem-solving 05:42 Choose the right textbook for you 16:41 Color and hardness are uncorrelated properties. 22:21 Physical processes are intrinsically unpredictable and random. 32:53 Electrons behave like cheese 38:40 Electrons follow 50-50 probability of hardness or softness 48:46 Electrons come out of the color box white 100% of the time. 53:20 Electrons generated by rubbing cat against balloon and sent into color box. 1:03:44 The behavior of electrons changes with the presence of mirrors or color boxes. 1:07:49 Electrons have a way of moving unlike anything we're used to thinking about. Crafted by Merlin AI.
Awesome introduction to a course, especially a course in Quantum Mechanics. I'm sure this lecture will enlighten and motivate those students as they struggle to understand the complex mathematics and details of the course. They'll remember what it's all about.
Absolutely fantastic. Prof. Adams is a remarkable professor, just sat through the whole lecture (albeit in two separate halves) and I never thought I'd be able to 'get' advanced Physics on such a level, but these lectures have exceeded my expectations. Thank you MIT!
00:00 🎓 El profesor Allan Adams da la bienvenida al curso de mecánica cuántica (804) de MIT para la primavera de 2013, destacando su entusiasmo por la materia y presentando al equipo docente. 02:51 🧠 El objetivo del curso es que los estudiantes no solo realicen cálculos en mecánica cuántica, sino que desarrollen intuición para entender los fenómenos cuánticos. 05:42 📚 Se recomiendan varios libros de texto para el curso, destacando la importancia de elegir según el enfoque (mecánica de ondas o mecánica matricial) y las preferencias del estudiante. 08:05 ⏰ La política de tardanzas es estricta, pero se permitirá la eliminación de la nota más baja en las tareas para contrarrestar eventos imprevistos. 13:56 📦 Descripción de cajas (color y dureza) para medir propiedades de electrones, destacando la repetibilidad de las mediciones y su independencia. 19:55 🔗 La correlación entre el color y la dureza de los electrones se demuestra mediante experimentos, mostrando que conocer una propiedad no predice la otra. 21:46 🤔 La expectativa natural sería que todos los electrones blancos salieran blancos del segundo cuadro, pero sorprendentemente, el 50% sale negro. 23:11 🧐 Aunque un electrón se mide como blanco inicialmente, al medirlo nuevamente, puede salir blanco o negro, indicando una naturaleza no determinista y aleatoria. 25:05 🎲 Existe una intrínseca imprevisibilidad y no determinismo en los procesos físicos observados en el laboratorio, revelando que la probabilidad es forzada por las observaciones. 27:54 📦 Es imposible construir una caja que indique tanto el color como la dureza de un electrón simultáneamente debido al principio de incertidumbre. 30:21 🔄 La propiedad fundamental del mundo cuántico es que ciertas propiedades observables son inherentemente incompatibles entre sí, como la dureza y el color simultáneos. 33:41 🔄 Presentación de un dispositivo experimental más complejo con cajas de dureza y espejos, y la introducción de un principio de invariancia: cambiar la dirección no altera las propiedades medidas. 37:28 🤔 Predicción de resultados en un experimento donde electrones blancos se envían a través de un dispositivo con espejos y cajas de dureza, resultando en una probabilidad del 50% para la dureza al final. 43:11 📊 La clase aborda una serie de experimentos relacionados con la superposición cuántica. 45:31 🎓 Experimento: Electrones duros se envían a una caja de dureza y luego a una caja de color, prediciendo una salida 50-50. 46:56 🔍 Experimento complicado: Electrones blancos se envían a una caja de dureza, con una salida sorprendente del 100% blanco y 0% negro. 57:10 🧐 Se introduce una barrera móvil en el camino suave del experimento anterior, reduciendo la salida en un 50%, pero sorprendentemente, no todos los electrones salen blancos, sino 50-50. 01:04:18 🤔 En experimentos cuánticos más complejos, como con cajas de colores en lugar de espejos, los resultados pueden variar, y es crucial abordarlos caso por caso. 01:05:44 🌈 Una "caja de color" en la mecánica cuántica no se verifica directamente, pero su propiedad de ser "blanca" se deduce al observar el electrón que sale de ella. 01:06:14 🇫🇷 Experimentos similares han sido realizados por Alain Aspect, un físico francés, demostrando que la presencia del experimentador no afecta los resultados. 01:06:43 🤯 Al analizar un electrón en una superposición de caminos, surge la pregunta de qué ruta tomó, y ninguna opción (duro, suave, ambos, ninguno) parece adecuada. 01:10:36 🤔 La superposición cuántica plantea un dilema: los electrones no siguen las categorías clásicas de camino duro o suave, ambos o ninguno, desafiando la intuición clásica. 01:11:34 🔄 La superposición cuántica sugiere que los electrones adoptan un modo de ser único y no convencional, llevando a la necesidad de un nuevo lenguaje, la mecánica cuántica. 01:13:28 🔄 La superposición implica que un electrón no es ni duro ni suave, sino una combinación superpuesta de ambas, desafiando la idea de una propiedad definida antes de medir.
Thanks to everyone of you guys/ girls who helped make this happen I can just imagine the amount of people that you have helped by making these videos free
wow.... we need more professors like him. Most physics and math professors laugh at questions. Like "what are you talking about. That's just a bad question. STFU and let me move on" instead of "what do you mean by that so I can correct your misunderstanding that like 8 other people in the class probably also have" which is clearly how this guy teaches. In other words, he actually teaches.
This is the first lecture I've watched at all since I've graduated from Uni two years ago. And I want more. Thank you for this beautiful, interesting piece of knowledge!
I watch these videos sometimes just to see what the professor is like. I'm trying to get my undergrad degree in a less than stellar school where one of the most difficult things is simply dealing with the professors. These videos help me keep working hard to get into grad school elsewhere without feeling like I'm going to be trapped with awful professors for the rest of my life
I m a 52 yr old interventional cardiologist...who always loved physics(of course what was tought in our high school at the time was mostly Newtonian..avg human perception scale)....I channeled to med science and enjoyed it. But now, i feel like a 20 yr old when i listen to this stuff ... never too late!
This presentation style contrasted to my state university experience where almost every chemistry course started with an adversarial rant about us all being a waste of the professor time is incredible to me. I would have paid 4x more to be taught by people who believed i loved learning, but was ignorant. Love of a subject is infectious to even mildly interested listeners.
The professors simply told you the truth. Almost all of you were a waste of your professor's time. They hate teaching because they know that in twenty years of teaching they will teach exactly one student who will take over their jobs. That's a fact. If you didn't realize that the first day you sat in a science lecture hall, then you were guaranteed NOT the guy who would replace that professor twenty years down the road. ;-)

you're a victim because every university course I ever took all my profs were kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, supportive, and loving....
im 13 bro
he's so passionate about the topic. Really a great professor
yes yes yes
absolutely
u can watch his ted talks, also great.

Heisenberg and Schrodinger are speeding down the highway when a state
cop pulls them over. The cop walks up to the window and asks Heisenberg,
"Do you know how fast you were going?"
Heisenberg replies, "No, but I knew where I was."
The cop says, "You were going over 90 miles per hour!"
To which Heisenberg replies, "Fine. Now we're lost."
Thinking this answer is a little strange, the cop decides to investigate
the vehicle. He begins by opening the trunk. Shocked by what he finds,
he shouts, "You have a dead cat in here!"
Schrodinger answers, "Well I do now!"
love this haha
You are sooooo funny
I laughed until i stopped

MIT has the most chill and exciting professors. I’m so happy this is on the internet 😁
This is how a teacher should be. The content, even if rigorous, was still so engaging. I wish my professors were this passionate about physics.
They behave like CHEESE!
Believe me, the content presented in the lecture is not rigorous at all compared to other stuff in QM. However, HW assignments are most likely from hell.
I'm sure by now they no longer teach anything but Racisms ,Nothing else matters You don't need that crappy education you need racisms. Your a Victim start acting the part damnit.
Riguroso y convincente xD
however, this content was not rigorous. especially by mit standards. the first lecture is always a softball so a wider audience can watch. either way, I am sure he remains engaging even when the content does become rigorous
It really strikes me that I've never really had a teacher that's this pumped up just before a lecture. What a great guy!
I concur. This is what engagement looks like. Most professors approach their lectures with a self-requirement that they want to present the information to students in a clear & concise way. This guy wants to create the thrill of curiosity and discovery in his students.
Feynman taught similarly. His lectures are naturally quite outdated along the fringes but the basic concepts remain the same and his enthusiasm is utterly infectious. I think they may be some of the lectures this prof was referring to.
He's probably loaded on adderall and caffeine lol.
I'm almost as amazed at MIT's complex blackboard system than the quantum superposition of subatomic molecules.
They have blackboard superposition.
mercster molecules aren’t subatomic

This is an absolutely great professor. I wish I had professors like him.
You want professors like him, you be smart enough to get into mit
We have him now, don't we?
@tidainon2149 yeah 😂
Me too.
@@tidaimon2149More or less for I don't live in the USA and having him only on RUclips is not enough😂
I went to a very well-known university and in 4 years I only had one professor who was as engaging and passionate about his subject as this guy. Kudos to MIT!
What does passion have to do with "As far as we know" lecture ?
what r u doing now?
or thinking to do?
Gotta admit. I’m in bed watching stuff to try to dose off (sleepy but can’t sleep), and I figured this should do the trick. I ended up watching the whole lecture and now feel wide awake.
More professors need his enthusiasm. I’ve never seen a classroom applaud following the conclusion of a lecture, but this man earned it.
Same exact thing. Tried to bore myself to sleep. Ended up staying up watching the entire thing
Same here
Yes, I also ended up in a sleep superposition. Both tired and not tired, asleep and not asleep. I wonder if I watch this one night a week, for six months, If I fall asleep 50% of the time?
😵💫 Fell asleep watching a Tesla 3-6-9 vortex video, woke up just as this ended.
After having the WEIRDEST dream in decades, which I have to share:
I was in college, & victim of pranksters in a dorm. I lost the pranks war & woke seeing that they had removed the tire from the left rear of my car. Not the rim, it was still there, on the car with the jack laying next to it 😳
🤔 Never fall asleep watching math videos!
@@OhAncientOne lol just learn to lucid dream and do whatever you want.
Thank you MIT!! ❤ Love from Hawaii. Lifelong learners around the world appreciate OCW!
The most nourishing bit of information in this lecture is at the very end. Our intuition is formed from experience in the macroscopic world, which is totally different from the microscopic quantum world. This explains our frustration with counter intuitive results when trying to understand quantum experiments, since our intuition is not adapted to the quantum domain. Its like learning a new language.
Thank you MIT for sharing.
When he turns to the crowd and asks „Questions?“
Me: Yes, why am I here at 2am?

I was quite sucky at physics in high school, but I've always been really fascinated by QM, even though I never really got a full grasp of it. Now having found this video, I'm starting to get the basics and that honestly feels amazing! I've never seen such an enthusiastic and fun prof. as Prof. Adams & am really glad I have the opportunity to listen to him teach! :)
¨I never really got a full grasp of it¨
Here are some quotes from the greatest Physicists of all time:
Quantum mechanics makes absolutely no sense
Roger Penrose
If it is correct, it signifies the end of physics as a science
Albert Einstein
I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics
Richard Feynman
If you are not completely confused by quantum mechanics, you do not understand it

I want to find something in my life that I am as passionate about as this teacher is about Quantum Physics
Allan Adams is a fantastic lecturer - he has a real gift for teaching. This is BY FAR the clearest presentation of quantum mechanics you will find on the internet. Wonderfully coherent - thanks MIT.
(I took a QM course at the University of Illinois ~35 years ago. Unfortunately I did not appreciate the beauty and richness of this subject. Had I - I may have switched majors from Nuclear Engineering to Physics!)
I just graduated from nc state for nuclear engineering!
Had me locked in the entire way. I'm taking away much more than just knowledge, but also how to share ideas in a way people will listen, and enjoy. Give that man a raise!
Knowledge is the only thing you can possibly take away from this. It's all knowledge
@@vladv2291 In this instance knowledge was learned through a joyous and attentive experience thanks to the way it was presented.
My goodness. If I had a teacher like this guy in high school maybe I wouldve been so inspired to work hard and go to a great university. He did a phenomenal job, hard to believe this is all live almost.
Teachers like this are unfortunately above most high schools budgets
You can get great professors in big state schools and small unique private colleges. I promise there is more teachers like this than positions open there are good teachers to be found

"The miracle is not that electrons behave oddly. The miracle ist that when you take 10^27 electrons, they behave like cheese."
@@fartreview1739 Nice dude, your statement is exactly what I thought of your comment. A completely empty statement that has no meaning.
You just figured that out? He's an ass.
'm lookin for a Superposition at MIT. Anybody know some vacant ones?
There might be some holes in that cheese, euh theory.
The statement is full of meaning. It implies the existance of emergent phenomena, that is systems that are more than the sum of their parts. This is one theory of where conciouness comes from, one that is not incompatible with the idea of sentient AI life in the future. Emergent phenomena also explain phase changes and why macroscopic systems behave differently than microscopic systems.
What are all y'all on about?
MIT, thank you so much for releasing these material on the internet. I'm a brazillian chemistry student and we have a big lack of good material to study around here. We need to spend a giant amount of money for a good book, and theese video classes really help me to improve my knowledge and i'm certain that it helps a bounch of others students that can't get a good material to study so easily.
Allan Adams is a great professor. As a business student w no interest in physics, i am chocked to find myself passionately watching this video. The way in which he engages students is indeed a talent.
This is the type of professors we need to heal our academic traumas
Prof Adams passion is what kept the students and audience glued
That and the Higgs particle.
No. You think these students are your average high schooler? No. The best of the best teachers teaching the best of the best students.
What a boson! @@TheDiamond2009
The applause at the end truly shows how amazing of a professor Adams is. Thank you MIT OCW for allowing the rest of the world to experience a professor whose lectures cause students to applaud.
When I was an engineering student not once did we applaud a lecturer like that, but we never got such a clear and engaging presentation either.
It's incredible to think that everyone in that room has now graduated and is incredibly accomplished in their own right. That's beautiful. I wonder where they all are...
I wish stuff like this was aired on public tv.
You and me both. I might support PBS with a few more dollars. We do a very poor job of supporting lifelong learning in the US and that needs to change if we are going to be a technology leader.
Nah, most people are too dumb to understand this.

Now at the age of 36 I thought that I'm getting stupid and old engineer when I tried to wrap my head around quantum physics, but it seems that reading literature isn't just enough if you don't have great professors like Adams to guide you through the basic concept of something complete new.

I just learned Dr. Adams was born in my same city (Bogotá, Colombia). What a pleasant surprise, professor :)

This is really awesome what MIT is doing, especially for those who already completed school or who are currently working full time jobs with an interest in studying QM. Thank you so much! :D
Man I wish I had teachers this passionate about physics and teaching like Prof. Adams.
this guy is the kind of professor every campus needs, a true man of education and enthusiasm kissass or not. thanks man, professor.
I’ve always been fascinated by physics. This is my FIRST video ever in my intent to learn about quantum physics. And I LOVED this
Let’s go back to school! I’m highly considering it.
9:40 is where the actual lecture starts, for those who want to skip through the part where he's going over logistics for the students in the actual class.
This is how teachers should teach. Make education fun. I’m no physics major but this professor makes it interesting to want to learn it.
Just finished watching this lecture and it has confirmed once again that I made the correct choice going into medicine. Professor Adams is excellent.
I remember watching his lectures during my third year of medicine, honestly it made me consider changing to physics, but then the later lectures came along with all the math and I’ve never been more sure about choosing medicine.
But it has to be said what an amazing lecturer he is, and how amazing physics and creation is.

Sadly, a lot of students who DO have professors like him still don't come out with "curiosity and thrill for the subject" because they're just incredibly lazy lol.

+ProgamerEU I he is actually bit twitchy ,this is real passion sometime(not always)
Thank you for making this available! It's a fascinating topic, and while I'm an engineer I definitely approach QM from a philosophical perspective. I love the energy that Professor Adams conveys during the lecture.
I do wish my Quantum Mechanics lectures had been like this. Its a blast learning all over again but with the added enthusiasm.
It takes a great teacher like this for to learn that this topic is not for me. Thank you!
Holy Shit!! Season 4 is finally out!!! I've honestly been waiting for 5 years for this lecture series. Bah I think I need to go back and watch all the previous Seasons to familiarise myself with the plot again. Thanks MIT!

I dropped out of high school, never graduated college, and was able to follow this lecture and understand the explanation. Such an interesting lecturer with a tremendous ability to translate complicated theory into lamens terms.

00:00 🎓 El profesor Allan Adams da la bienvenida al curso de mecánica cuántica (804) de MIT para la primavera de 2013, destacando su entusiasmo por la materia y presentando al equipo docente.
02:51 🧠 El objetivo del curso es que los estudiantes no solo realicen cálculos en mecánica cuántica, sino que desarrollen intuición para entender los fenómenos cuánticos.
05:42 📚 Se recomiendan varios libros de texto para el curso, destacando la importancia de elegir según el enfoque (mecánica de ondas o mecánica matricial) y las preferencias del estudiante.
08:05 ⏰ La política de tardanzas es estricta, pero se permitirá la eliminación de la nota más baja en las tareas para contrarrestar eventos imprevistos.
13:56 📦 Descripción de cajas (color y dureza) para medir propiedades de electrones, destacando la repetibilidad de las mediciones y su independencia.
19:55 🔗 La correlación entre el color y la dureza de los electrones se demuestra mediante experimentos, mostrando que conocer una propiedad no predice la otra.
21:46 🤔 La expectativa natural sería que todos los electrones blancos salieran blancos del segundo cuadro, pero sorprendentemente, el 50% sale negro.
23:11 🧐 Aunque un electrón se mide como blanco inicialmente, al medirlo nuevamente, puede salir blanco o negro, indicando una naturaleza no determinista y aleatoria.
25:05 🎲 Existe una intrínseca imprevisibilidad y no determinismo en los procesos físicos observados en el laboratorio, revelando que la probabilidad es forzada por las observaciones.
27:54 📦 Es imposible construir una caja que indique tanto el color como la dureza de un electrón simultáneamente debido al principio de incertidumbre.
30:21 🔄 La propiedad fundamental del mundo cuántico es que ciertas propiedades observables son inherentemente incompatibles entre sí, como la dureza y el color simultáneos.
33:41 🔄 Presentación de un dispositivo experimental más complejo con cajas de dureza y espejos, y la introducción de un principio de invariancia: cambiar la dirección no altera las propiedades medidas.
37:28 🤔 Predicción de resultados en un experimento donde electrones blancos se envían a través de un dispositivo con espejos y cajas de dureza, resultando en una probabilidad del 50% para la dureza al final.
43:11 📊 La clase aborda una serie de experimentos relacionados con la superposición cuántica.
45:31 🎓 Experimento: Electrones duros se envían a una caja de dureza y luego a una caja de color, prediciendo una salida 50-50.
46:56 🔍 Experimento complicado: Electrones blancos se envían a una caja de dureza, con una salida sorprendente del 100% blanco y 0% negro.
57:10 🧐 Se introduce una barrera móvil en el camino suave del experimento anterior, reduciendo la salida en un 50%, pero sorprendentemente, no todos los electrones salen blancos, sino 50-50.
01:04:18 🤔 En experimentos cuánticos más complejos, como con cajas de colores en lugar de espejos, los resultados pueden variar, y es crucial abordarlos caso por caso.
01:05:44 🌈 Una "caja de color" en la mecánica cuántica no se verifica directamente, pero su propiedad de ser "blanca" se deduce al observar el electrón que sale de ella.
01:06:14 🇫🇷 Experimentos similares han sido realizados por Alain Aspect, un físico francés, demostrando que la presencia del experimentador no afecta los resultados.
01:06:43 🤯 Al analizar un electrón en una superposición de caminos, surge la pregunta de qué ruta tomó, y ninguna opción (duro, suave, ambos, ninguno) parece adecuada.
01:10:36 🤔 La superposición cuántica plantea un dilema: los electrones no siguen las categorías clásicas de camino duro o suave, ambos o ninguno, desafiando la intuición clásica.
01:11:34 🔄 La superposición cuántica sugiere que los electrones adoptan un modo de ser único y no convencional, llevando a la necesidad de un nuevo lenguaje, la mecánica cuántica.
01:13:28 🔄 La superposición implica que un electrón no es ni duro ni suave, sino una combinación superpuesta de ambas, desafiando la idea de una propiedad definida antes de medir.
Thanks to everyone of you guys/ girls who helped make this happen I can just imagine the amount of people that you have helped by making these videos free
What a brilliant lecturer. Utterly engaging. Controlled the theatre. 10 years on still superb. Wonder where these students are now.
This literally blew my mind. Adams is a great teacher.
Possibly the greatest lecture on introductory QM ever
wow.... we need more professors like him. Most physics and math professors laugh at questions. Like "what are you talking about. That's just a bad question. STFU and let me move on" instead of "what do you mean by that so I can correct your misunderstanding that like 8 other people in the class probably also have" which is clearly how this guy teaches. In other words, he actually teaches.
I opened this video as sort of a background noise but became completely engaged. Excellent teacher.
The enthusiasm of students with the questions is an indicative of the quality and theoretical bases of the conjunct of students present in the class.
This is the best intro in QM I have ever seen! Thanks for sharing!
This is the first lecture I've watched at all since I've graduated from Uni two years ago. And I want more. Thank you for this beautiful, interesting piece of knowledge!
I watch these videos sometimes just to see what the professor is like. I'm trying to get my undergrad degree in a less than stellar school where one of the most difficult things is simply dealing with the professors. These videos help me keep working hard to get into grad school elsewhere without feeling like I'm going to be trapped with awful professors for the rest of my life
I m a 52 yr old interventional cardiologist...who always loved physics(of course what was tought in our high school at the time was mostly Newtonian..avg human perception scale)....I channeled to med science and enjoyed it. But now, i feel like a 20 yr old when i listen to this stuff ... never too late!
This presentation style contrasted to my state university experience where almost every chemistry course started with an adversarial rant about us all being a waste of the professor time is incredible to me. I would have paid 4x more to be taught by people who believed i loved learning, but was ignorant. Love of a subject is infectious to even mildly interested listeners.
The professors simply told you the truth. Almost all of you were a waste of your professor's time. They hate teaching because they know that in twenty years of teaching they will teach exactly one student who will take over their jobs. That's a fact. If you didn't realize that the first day you sat in a science lecture hall, then you were guaranteed NOT the guy who would replace that professor twenty years down the road. ;-)
@@schmetterling4477thank goodness it is only once every 20 years such a presumptuous egomaniac arises! Professor adams must not have received your “peer” memo. Probably because he has actual research backing up his genius
