Lecture 1 of Leonard Susskind’s Modern Physics course concentrating on Quantum Mechanics. Recorded January 14, 2008 at Stanford University.

This Stanford Continuing Studies course is the second of a six-quarter sequence of classes exploring the essential theoretical foundations of modern physics. The topics covered in this course focus on quantum mechanics. Leonard Susskind is the Felix Bloch Professor of Physics at Stanford University.

    Well hey, there’s nothing wrong with educating yourself through these videos, Mr. Susskind is a complete genius. He practically invented string theory. I certainly don’t understand everything in these videos, but they’re fascinating to watch.

    u said , “queer” huh uhh uhu hhuh huh -butthead

    I love Quantum Mechanics and its queer phenomena!

    This is good but one thing is, when I don’t understand I can’t ask him.

    Well I think it’s nice people put stuff like this up :)

    I found this course accidently. suppose the advanced matemathics analyzsis course should be realised before we’re planning start to learning about Quantum M. This knowledge seems to be strongly necessary to understood some aspects of modern physics. Surely: I am not planning to educate using YouTube, anyway nice to hear some questions and examples. A lot of them is really known for me because I’ve a had physics’ education before. Sorry if didn’t wrote correctly

    It’s kinda depressing I’ve had to educate myself through you-tube, at my school nearly all the kids have never even heard of a periodic table. WE LEARN NOTHING, the teachers just type on their laptops making reviews of what we are supposed to be doing! It’s a relief I can learn about what-ever I want though. Thank-you !!! :)

    They are everywhere at once.

    Continuing Education… one of the greatest things about the American university system, where advanced education of the highest calibre is available to the public at large. Here in the UK, even with our truly excellent universities, this idea does not exist.. at a terrible loss to personal intellectual growth and to having an educated and engaged community.

    oh man you can go to his lectures without being a student! I live like 20min away from Stanford!!!

    This is awesome! Thank you for this!

    hey great :D
    I learned a lot
    im hoping to become a physicist xD

    The professor seems to indicate that it is the detection device that changes it’s properties. But when experimenters decided to record which slit the electron went through, but not look at the data or the result on the wall until the next day. Now according to this professor, since we simply used the device the pattern would be that of a classical nature. But the next day when they decided to not look at the data(erase it, it formed the wave pattern, not the classical like the professor implied.
