Spin in Quantum Mechanics

[LookingGlassUniverse]

Either way though, thanks for your support! I've missed teaching a lot, and it's been very fun making this course. I've planned about 10 videos for this series, which will all be here, free on youtube.

The mighty return of the quantum videos! Amazing!

Just watched the science asylum video! Excited to see your perspective on spin. Also, great background, looks like you're trapped in an emerald cave which as we all know nurtures physics

Congrats, you are my first edutainment creator to give me an "aha!" moment that utilizes the linear algebra that I took last semester in an applied way that I hadn't seen (or at least understood) previously. I'm a little behind your level 😅, but this is really clearly explained, so thank you!

Thank you so much. I have worked with light my entire career as a stage lighting technician. I know how to illuminate with it. I know how to create emotion with it but I never really understood what it was. I knew about color filters and transmission and would regularly manipulate its temperature and intensity but like I said, I didn’t really understand what it was. After watching your videos, I still have no clue what it is… but I am starting to be able to talk as though I do. I’m teasing…The videos are awesome. They really do help visualize things and my high school algebra and geometry are starting to come back to me enough to keep me following along. Ever since I saw the first random science video about the double slit experiment, I haven’t been able to get enough when it comes to Quantum Mechanics. It’s so cool to learn fascinating things from friendly people who enjoy teaching what they understand. It’s super cool and I am learning a ton. I intend to use some of your experiments when I have substitute science classes with no lesson plans. I recently started substitute teaching and you are giving me great ideas that are simple to implement. Thank you for all of the new knowledge. It’s very much appreciated. 😊

I'm about 3/4 of the way through this video and I have to say, you are amazing at explaining things. Your explanations are done in a way that I have not found anywhere else - meaning they provide the most fundamental understanding of these concepts. There are 10's of thousands of video's where the presenter is just storming through the content. But you seem to have taken the time and care to remember what it would be like to not know any of this. I am familiar with most of this, but they way you explain it fills in a bunch of holes when it comes to really understanding it at the most fundamental level which, for me, is what makes it stick. Thank you for all you do with this excellent channel.

I'm surprised that I'm totally getting this! You are doing an awesome job, thank you!

This is the best explanation for the Stern–Gerlach experiment I've ever heard. Thanks for the video. 😀

When I was in high school, I had to read the encyclopedia to find out that the magnetic moment had nothing to do with time. That was after consulting the physics teacher, two textbooks, and then still failing an exam. I think 90% of the confusion in physics is just down to the terrible vocabulary.

[ppmealing]

I have some familiarity with this, but you explain it better than most.
I wish I had been taught it this way in the first place. Thank you.

This video paired with the last one have been by far the best explanation of this I have engaged with. Very excited for more.

[briandwi]

That was clear, understandable and beautifully explained. Thanks very much!

10:50, My understanding is that the idea that electrons are point particles comes from the fact that they don't have any size when we try to measure it. We can apparently get arbitrarily close to them.

I was thinking of the dot product as the length of one vector projected onto another, and I think that intuition matched up with the math in your examples.

[DonkeyMan]

You have my favorite educational physics channel! My field of study is pure mathematics and network engineering but I always want to know more about pjysics! Thank you!

[adityapotukuchi]

Amazing lesson! Really looking forward to the next one!

[MegaRad]

Thank you Prof, this was super cool. Keep up the great work!

[patrickpolitte]

Liked and subscribed. I like finding like minded science communicators. Thank you for what you do. You're good.

[nikolahn]

Thank you for getting the mechanics of quantum state collapse.

Muito didático, simples e objetiva.
Levei meus alunos brasileiros para competir em Goodwood no ultimo mes de outubro.
Se tivesse conhecido seu canal antes teria te convidado como Embaixadora STEM do International Finals da Greenpower Edu Trust.
CONGRATS!
TKS!!!
