Bohmian Mechanics - An Alternative to Quantum
I explain the basic idea of Bohmian Mechanics and how it gives the same results as Quantum Mechanics with out saying things like "a particle is in more than one place at a time"

NIST Unscripted: Eric Cornell
Eric Cornell, NIST Fellow and Nobel Laureate tells the exciting story of how he and colleague Carl Weiman made the first-ever observation of a new state of matter, the Bose-Einstein condensate, in 1995. The breakthrough led to the duo,...

Introduction to Modern Physics
Quantum mechanics, relativity, space-time, Schrodinger's Cat, the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, you've heard of all this stuff but you assume that there's no way you can understand it. Think again! With a little bit of preparation,...

Wavefunction Properties, Normalization, and Expectation Values
We are beginning to get a glimpse of quantum mechanical principles from a rigorous, mathematical perspective. Now that we know how to use operators in conjunction with wavefunctions, let's get a better sense of what wavefunctions...

The Quantum Harmonic Oscillator Part 2: Solving the Schrödinger Equation
We just introduced the classical harmonic oscillator, so now let's look at the quantum version! Obviously this is much trickier, but let's solve the Schrödinger equation and see what the solution tells us about the quantum world.

The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle Part 1: Position/Momentum and Schrodinger's Cat
What do you think, that Breaking Bad made up the name Heisenberg? Think again! He was an awesome physicist. He has a few things to say about what we can and can't know about the quantum world. Let's take a look, shall we?

Quantum Mechanics of the Electron
We don't have to know too much physics to do chemistry, but the electron, the particle that makes all the chemistry happen, is a quantum mechanical particle, so we have to understand it just a little bit. Don't worry, no math, just...

If randomness is real, do we have any effect on the future?
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...

Quantization of Energy Part 1: Blackbody Radiation and the Ultraviolet Catastrophe
So we know that physics got turned upside down at the turn of the 20th century, but how did that all begin? What was the first thing that set this whole chain of events into motion? Well it all started with Planck and the ultraviolet...
