Not Here, Not There, Not Nowhere, and Not Everywhere—Superposition in Real Life

In this video I teach you the simplest way to understand what quantum superposition is. In ten minutes I teach you a very difficult concept. Then I show you an example of quantum superposition in real life. Get ready to become a quantum physicist!

I watched the MIT course in high school and it is really worth the time. It is actually what got me interested in quantum mechanics. Now I am a second year physics student and from time to time I make sure that whatever I am learning, I can teach others in the simplest words possible. As I am taking new courses, I realize that not everything can be explained in simple words. But people like you amaze me. It takes immense understanding and talent to teach people as effectively as you do. Kudos to you! :)

I really like watching science videos that are correct. I study physics and work at a local university and oh boy I really enjoy your videos as you explain stuff without dumbing it down or making it wrong.

Very worth it

The Action Lab not only teaches us science, it also teaches professors how to teach science

[JohnCena]

I have so much respect for quantum physicist..

[songckim]

this is the BEST explanation of the quantum superposition and uncertainty principle ever. PERIOD. Much thanks for this straightforward and simple explanation.

[BangMaster]

Wow, this was by far the best explanation of quantum superposition i've come across on YouTube.
You are a great teacher.

[MammaOVlogs]

l've been there! This is mind boggling! loved the fireworks at the beginning Lol.

*_I am in a Superposition_*

_weird flex, but okay_

I thought you were going to show the even cooler thing you can do with polarising filters; if you get two of them at 90 degrees to each other then no light gets through, yet if you put a third one in between at 45 degrees then all of a sudden light can pass through all of them

First of al, l thank you for doing something no other teacher I've seen do when talking about the hard/soft black/white boxes. They always talk about the percentages 0/100 percent or 50 percent. But never the actual numbers of how many particles you are starting and ending with. That actually helped me understand this a little more than previous videos have.

[hitsssssssssssssssss]

Whatever that firework is, it was the weirdest thing I've witnessed in my life

[Makebuildmodify]

Question: if an electron goes through two consecutive hardness boxes and is found to be hard on the first box, is it a 100% chance that it'll be hard on the second box? Or does the first interaction meddle with the electrons state and change the probability to 50% again?

Person in my class with the guts to say what we all wanted to: "I don't think I understand this or really comprehend what's going on. I feel like I'm just going through the motions and getting better at solving the related equations"
Quantum Mechanics Prof: "Nobody understands or comprehends what's going on. We just get better at going through the motions and solving the equations".... continues lecture without missing a beat.

[VeVe]

I don’t know why but this video just made me oddly happy 😄 You explain physics really well and it feels awesome to understand it. Thanks! :)

[SireCaracal]

0:11 to 0:24, yeah, happy Diwali to you too.... 🙃

"The only time one specific elementary particle is not in super position is exactly when you're measuring it. As soon as it leaves your measurement device you have no idea what position it's in"
You know, this is a pretty solid argument for simulation theory. Elementary particles not being "rendered" or "watched/measured" don't need a position to be in, because they're not in "sight", or "rendered". This is the same principle we use to optimize games and save computational power. Amazing video!

When he said in your chemistry class... I finally understood everything, what is superposition and what are the orbitals, and the shells of an atom. The next time any of my friends ask a doubt about superposition I will show them this video.😊
