Quantum Chemistry 0.1 - Introduction

Short lecture introducing quantum chemistry.

Quantum chemistry is the application of quantum mechanics to chemical systems. Quantum mechanics is the laws of physics for very very small and very very light objects, such as electrons and nuclei. Quantum mechanics is very different from classical mechanics. In QM, we solve the Schrodinger equation for the wavefunctions of our particles, giving information about the probability of measuring various values for its physical properties. QM is very non-intuitive, and only certain allowed states are observed.

This course covers the content of a one semester undergraduate physical chemistry course, including chapters on early quantum theory, classical waves, the Schrodinger equation, particle in a box, principles of quantum mechanics, harmonic oscillator, rigid rotor, hydrogen atom, approximation methods, many-electron atoms, diatomic molecules, polyatomic molecules, symmetry and group theory, nuclear magnetic resonance, and particle in a ring.

I cannot believe this playlist exists. Doctorate level material available for free online. I cannot wait to dig into this. I’m so frustrated by the hand waving that has taken place when it comes to chemistry and physics, this is the only path I can see to help that

I'm a PhD student taking Physical Chemistry and these videos are a BLESSING!

[KeenestObserver]

I love how this chemistry teacher is the best I could find at explaining what I'm learning as a physics student.

Just wanted to say thank you very much for putting up this playlist! I'm trying to learn quantum chemistry basics for research purposes and it really helps to have the information presented in a clear and easy to understand manner! Major props for being able to organize and release such a vast amount of information.

Thank you so much for making these videos available for everyone, pure gold! This playlist is so nice and smooth! Very well done!

[abhisheknoba]

Thank you sir, I am preparing for civil services (INDIA) with chemistry as an optional subject and these videos are helping me a lot. Thank you so much.

[hmute]

I am a chemistry student and thanks to these videos I am learning quantum chemistry and I could pass the exam.

[anvithashyam]

Very helpful vedio. I am a chemistry student and I was having very difficult in understanding all this quantum chemistry. Everything is well explained and could catch easily. thanks for this vedio.

[khaledable]

We wouldn't appreciate it enough, no matter how much we say thank you 🙏

[SomithanKamal-nvyc]

I am in Sri Lankan sir we are so blessed because of your vedio you and your family have a wonderful life always

I am a savant in the energy field and have worked in analytical chemistry for 30 + years (retired). I have had several dreams that, although I had never realized much in the quantum realm, physicists are making similar discoveries.
The quantum chemistry, physics, and etc., that I am self teaching is extremely difficult. So, thank you for making these concepts a visualizations, as I understand all these machinations in picture forms.

[brandoncashin]

You're helping me through this quarantine semester a lot thank you!

[tanvirsingh]

Great channel I am from India and I am 15 years old and I have very great interest in quantum mechanics you are a great explainer sir

[yashodhanbhatawdekar]

I’m learning this in my first year of engineering. This is great! Thank you so much for making these videos.

My doctor was giving me a chemistry into today because he inspired me to become a doctor and I’m about to go to school soon. He was explaining these concepts and mentioned inside the nucleus the laws are not the same as they are for things outside the nucleus, on the inside the laws of quantum mechanics applies, and Vice versa.

[simonsays]

Great intro, I hope the following videos keep me intrigued as well! Im not a student anymore, and I havent done science since highschool, but I would love to learn all of this. The problem is there are too many hurdles to teaching yourself which disengage me often times and I lose momentum.

[AhedAlmalla]

these videos are the best in the quantum world
thanks from the heart ,

[FatimaEXOL]

I'm just an A-level student but i really love chemistry and i'm so interested and excited to know the different parts of chemistry and i came across quantum chemistry and wanted to know about it and i found this video i'll study this even though i'm not supposed to haha

[arsalking]

you are illustrating this very easily and clearly thanks alot for these videos and keep it up sir

[rimsharana]

Thank you so much! You have made my life so much easier!
