Does Many Worlds Explain Quantum Probabilities?
New ReviewThe mystery of what happens when we go from a superposition to a definite state is known as the Measurement Problem, and it’s arguably the most mysterious outstanding problem in physics. The different interpretations of quantum mechanics...

Some light quantum mechanics (with MinutePhysics)
An introduction to the quantum behavior of light, specifically the polarization of light. The emphasis is on how many ideas that seem "quantumly weird" are actually just wave mechanics, applicable in a lot of classical physics.

e to the pi i, a nontraditional take (old version)
The enigmatic equation e^{pi i} = -1 is usually explained using Taylor's formula during a calculus class. This video offers a different perspective, which involves thinking about numbers as actions, and about e^x as something which turns...

Pi hiding in prime regularities
A beutiful derivation of a formula for pi. At first, 1-1/3+1/5-1/7+1/9-.... seems unrelated to circles, but in fact there is a circle hiding here, as well as some interesting facts about prime numbers in the context of complex numbers.
