Lecture 1 Play Video |
Schrödinger's Equation: A simple derivation A basic derivation, in one dimension, of the Schrodinger Equations. I assume basic knowledge of algebra and calculus and some general physics. The video is aimed at somewhere between A level and 1st year undergraduate physics. |
Lecture 2 Play Video |
The Wave Function An explanation for the general choice of wave function to describe a particle in quantum mechanics |
Lecture 3 Play Video |
Double & Single Slit Experiments and Diffraction Gratings Describes the maths of the double and single slit experiments and the operation of the diffraction grating. |
Lecture 4 Play Video |
Solving Schrödinger for a Hydrogen Atom (cheating) - Part 1 A cheat way to get to the Schrodinger solution for the hydrogen atom - in 3 parts - total time is approx 23 minutes, |
Lecture 5 Play Video |
Solving Schrödinger for a Hydrogen Atom (cheating) - Part 2 A cheat way to get to the Schrodinger solution for the hydrogen atom - in 3 parts - total time is approx 23 minutes. |

Lecture 14 Play Video |
Blackbody Radiation and the UV Catastrophe - Part 1 of 3 A description of the Blackbody and Ultra Violet Catastrophe problem and an indication of how it was the door to the subject of Quantum Mechanics by postulating that light was formed of particles (photons) which were packets (quanta) of energy. |
Lecture 15 Play Video |
Blackbody Radiation and the UV Catastrophe - Part 2 of 3 A description of the Blackbody and Ultra Violet Catastrophe problem and an indication of how it was the door to the subject of Quantum Mechanics by postulating that light was formed of particles (photons) which were packets (quanta) of energy. |

Lecture 17 Play Video |
The Einstein Podolsky Rosen (EPR) Paradox: A simple explanation This video responds to a question about the EPR Paradox. It is explained in simple terms (no maths) but requires knowledge of some of the basics of Quantum Mechanics in my other videos. Too simple for experts! |
Lecture 18 Play Video |
Bell's Inequality A basic introduction to Bell's Inequality which shows that there cannot be hidden variables (a form of inbuilt DNA), as postulated by EPR, to explain how entangled particles behave. |
Lecture 19 Play Video |
Schrodinger's Cat A description of Schrodinger's thought experiment (no cats were harmed) which along with EPR challenged the emerging thinking of quantum mechanics in 1935 |
Lecture 20 Play Video |
Standing (Stationary) Waves The disctinction between standing and traveling waves; a demonstration of how standing waves are formed; and their application to quantum physics. |
Lecture 21 Play Video |
Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein statistics: Basic Introduction A basic introduction to Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein statistics and a comparison with Maxwell Boltzmann statistics |
Lecture 22 Play Video |
Quantum Mechanics Concepts: Dirac Notation and Photon Polarization Part 1 of a series: covering Dirac Notation, the measurable Hermitian matrix, the eigenvector states and the eigenvalue measured outcomes and application to photon polarisation |
Lecture 23 Play Video |
Quantum Mechanics Concepts: Photon Polarization II Part 2 of a series: continues photon polarisation |
Lecture 24 Play Video |
Quantum Mechanics Concepts: Electron Spin Part 3 of a series: application of concepts to electron spin. |

Lecture 26 Play Video |
Quantum Mechanics Concepts: The EPR Paradox explanation Part 5 of a series: responds to key questions I am asked on my Video on the EPR Paradox. |
Lecture 27 Play Video |
Quantum Mechanics Concepts: Energy Operators, the Hamiltonian and Schrodinger Part 6 of a series: setting out the Energy operator, the Hamiltonian and deriving Schrodinger's Equation. |
Lecture 28 Play Video |
Quantum Mechanics Concepts: The Harmonic Oscillator Part 7 of a series: explains how the ideas of Simple Harmonic Motion can be carried into Quantum Mechanics |
