How to Build Quantum Computer?
In this representation I discuss the main principles of quantum mechanics behind the quantum computer. and How to build a device that can manipulate the energy operator of the Schrodinger Equation for an electron to change its spin from...

Physics Vs Math - How to Pick the Right Major
This video is about physics vs math and how to know which major is right for you. You may have enjoyed them both in high school so of course you may want to major in one in college. The good news is that if you major in physics then you...

Position and Momentum Operators in Quantum Mechanics
We've learned a bit about quantum mechanics from a strictly conceptual and qualitative standpoint. But now it's time to dig a little deeper. Quantum mechanics is mathematics, so if we want to understand it on a fundamental level, we have...

The de Broglie Equation and Why There Is No Wave-Particle Duality
The wave-particle duality seems to used all the time to explain quantum mechanics to the public, but it is one of my pet peeves. It represents an outmoded way of thinking (old quantum theory), which is replaced by our current...

Is randomness in quantum theory an illusion?
God does not play dice with the universe' Einstein famously argued. Yet contemporary physics embeds just such dice playing at the core of its account. Is the universe really unknowable even to itself? Or as Einstein implied is this...

NEW RESULTS! Cosmic Quantum Bell Test
How do you test quantum mechanics with ancient stars? A new experiment aims to close loopholes to the iconic "Quantum Bell Test", with new results published in Feb. 2017!

The most beautiful idea in physics - Noethers Theorem
The proof and maths of Noethers theorem: There are two ways to approach Noethers theorem that I know of. The most common is through Lagrangian mechanics- where the proof is surprisingly simple but unfortunately quite opaque . The other...

Gravity Assist: Freaky Physics on the Space Station, with Ethan Elliott
The laws of physics get very, very weird in the realm of particles too small for the eye to see. Aboard the International Space Station, an experiment called the Cold Atom Laboratory (CAL) is exploring how the universe works .

A problem with Bohmian Mechanics Contextuality
Contextuality might mean that there are no alternatives to Quantum mechanics that are sensible. Given Quantum isnt sensible either, there may just not be any sensible theories at all.

Quantum Mechanics | The Act of Measurement
The act of measurement in quantum mechanics causes "collapse of the wavefunction". Here, I explain what is meant by measurement in the discipline of quantum mechanics.

Quantum Entanglement and the EPR Paradox
What is entanglement really? And why is it that its a uniquely quantum phenomena? Bohmian mechanics stuff: In Bohmian mechanics, you still have superpositions, they just mean something very different. A Bohmian mech particle only has one...

The Physics Major
This video mostly goes over two of the biggest classes and fields you learn about as a physics undergrad which is quantum physics and classical physics. I will be going over more classes (in less detail) and more information on the major...

Quantum Entanglement: Explained in REALLY SIMPLE Words
Quantum entanglement is a physical resource, like energy, that is possible between quantum systems. When a coin spins on a flat surface, it’s in a state of superposition between its two faces—head and tails. Similarly, electrons in their...

NIST Unscripted: Dave Wineland
Dave Wineland, NIST physicist and 2012 Nobel Laureate in Physics, discusses his landmark work developing laser cooling, a technique that has led to ultraprecise atomic timekeeping and advances in experimental quantum computing.

Eric Weinstein: Economic Thinking In A Fallible World
By Marshall Auerback The philosopher Karl Popper argued that we cannot know empirical truths with absolute certainty. According to Popper, even scientific laws can't be verified beyond a shadow of a doubt. They can only be falsified by...

What Is The Computational Power of the Universe?
Can a close look at the universe give us solutions to problems too difficult even for a planet-sized computer to solve? Physicist Stephen Jordan considers this question and more in our latest video.
