Prof Adams is a great Lecturer! Very enthusiastic, very knowledgeable, with a sense of humor.

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!"

MIT, thank you for having courses such as "Quantum Physics" uploaded to YouTube for people to learn. As a person that has autism, it is much easier for me to learn in a relaxing environment where there are little to no distractions, and at the pace I want. Keep up the great work!

I'm almost as amazed at MIT's complex blackboard system than the quantum superposition of subatomic molecules.
@PotatoGod69
This is an absolutely great professor. I wish I had professors like him.

I watched this series 7 years ago before I graduated high school. Since then I have graduated with a degree with one of my majors being physics, including 3 QM courses. Thank you and good luck to everyone else who is here to learn.

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.
@AidenScarborough
I am glad that we can get these advanced educational courses for pretty much free , a good way to identify the smart people and the ones that were unlucky or simply lost during high school

That one student at 51:00 who went against the whole class vote for 50/50 had to feel immortal

I don't know what the hell Prof. Adams is trying to teach me, but I'm here for it.

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.

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!
@darrenramsingh9334
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
@fabiorestrepo98
I just learned Dr. Adams was born in my same city (Bogotá, Colombia). What a pleasant surprise, professor :)
