"Quantum Mechanics: The Physics of the Microscopic World" Prof. Benjamin Schumacher (DVD) (24 Lectures / 30 Minutes Per Lecture /  4x DVD - The Great Courses)
The counterintuitive and exhilarating laws governing the subatomic realm take center stage in Professor Benjamin Schumacher’s definitive series, Quantum Mechanics: The Physics of the Microscopic World. This journey strips away the intimidation of high-level physics to reveal the fundamental reality where particles can exist in multiple states at once and distant objects can be instantaneously linked. By dissecting the core principles of wave-particle duality and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, you will analyze how the microscopic world defies classical logic and provides the essential foundation for all modern technology, from lasers to silicon chips.
 
A rigorous examination of entanglement and quantum information provides the roadmap for the next great scientific revolution. Under the guidance of a Kenyon College pioneer—the man who actually coined the term "qubit" - you will explore the mathematical elegance of Schrödinger’s wave equation and the startling implications of Bell’s Theorem. This course is an intellectually high-octane invitation to move beyond Newtonian certainty and master the probabilistic blueprints that define the very fabric of our universe at its most fundamental level.
