Lecture 3 of Leonard Susskind's Modern Physics course concentrating on Quantum Mechanics. Recorded January 28, 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.

  • FINALLY! A way to learn in depth QM material while in the nude!

  • Free lectures on the internet is the best that happened to me in a long time. Thank you Stanford, MIT, Oxford and all the others! Really appreciate it!!

  • haha First Video 330,000 views, second 177,000 third 77,000 its going down and down...pity cause they are great videos

  • k = 1/length = ħ^(-1/2) G^(-1/2) c^(3/2)

  • 2pi=Tau

  • Can someone explain how at 13:00 the basis vectors m and n become summation indices. I understand both notations (I think) but I just don't understand how he derived Knm from (nI K Im)

  • What does it mean to be orthogonal in complex space?

  • @TheChadSitze Check out a book from the library?

  • @1o618033988749894848

    ahhhhh i see. Thank you for explaining!

  • @Evan2718281828 are things like gaussians or plane waves. For your linear wavefunction, it's not normalizable, hence the need to invent a weird system. For a wavefunction to make physical sense, we usually require that it decays to zero as x goes to infinity and minus infinity. There's also other technicalities... you'd probably be better off learning this stuff from a book. The David Griffiths book is the one I use, and it's excellent. Also I hadn't noticed the e in your name =P nice
