MIT 8.04 Quantum Physics I, Spring 2013 View the complete course: http://ocw.mit.edu/8-04S13 Instructor: Allan Adams In this lecture, Prof. Adams introduces wavefunctions as the fundamental quantity in describing quantum systems. Basic properties of wavefunctions are covered. Uncertainty and superposition are reiterated in the language of wavefunctions.

What happened to the guy from last lecture? This guy is dry and no fun.
-
What a great teacher
-
Thank you very much
-
man this camera man , SUCKS !!! :D

You guys are too awesome. I finally start understanding quantum mechanics. I am a mathematician, chemist and aerospace engineer, but not a physicist. It is particularly hard to explain quantum mechanics to me, but you are outstanding. Will write my PhD thesis in quantum chemistry, which means that I can't have enough of quantum mechanics.

Thank you, loving this course so far.
-
These teachers are terrible.
-
Would like to see Walter Lewin lecturing that topic!
-
What does he mean by "You should have seen this on 803" @ 6.20?
Is it another class/course? -
anyone know what book do they use?
-
Are the recitation videos available? Thanks
-
Really cool lecture! I am from germany and go to University here, but your Profs seems really excited to teach and he makes fun jokes, its so easy to listen to him :)
-
Why I'm feeling that this lecture is not in continuation with lecture 2 ,since in lecture 2 he didn't discuss polarization !
-
sir what was that so called" clicker" .....does it notice the deacay from radio a tive material and souns click...

"we're just going to scrap classical mechanics and start over from scratch." Well then,
-
Given two possible configs of a quantum system, corresponding to two distinct wave functions ψ1(χ) and ψ2(x), the system can also be in a superposition of ψ1(χ) and ψ2(x). Ψ(χ)=αψ1(χ)+βψ2(x).
If ψ1(χ) and ψ2(x) are e^ikx waves they can satisfy the schrodinger equation assuming a constant potential everywhere. But the resulting wave function Ψ(χ) wouldn't appear to satisfy the schrodinger equation. Does the superposition wavefunction have to follow the shrodinger equation or is it only the wave forms that are collapsed that have this property. -
I pray and ask God the Father in heaven to bless all those whom view this video unto perfect well being in Jesus Christ name and bless the Teacher, the Teacher is Jesus Christ

what is the relationn bw MRI Scan and quantum mechanics and humans

I feel like to understand the equations I need to go further back in lectures, or is this covered in the course material on the website? The only thing I know is planks constant and complex numbers. Should I watch physics videos instead, then come back to this? An answer would be very much appreciated.
