      Although they are smart, they may not be as smart as you think.
      Most of these guys studied QM either on their own (e.g. reading books like QM for Dummies or watching UA-cam etc) or took QM course before arriving at MIT. Yes indeed, there are schools that give introduction to QM in High School. So, if they have done that, they are pretty smart.
      But realize this may not be the first time they are seeing this. So, smart indeed. But maybe not quite as smart as you might want to believe.

For instance, I have a midterm tomorrow and i feel pretty good with my ability to handle the math and solve problems; but if asked what my solutions imply i would be hard pressed to answer without the intuition i gain from these vids. This lecture series really helps build my understanding of the material.

    Really good explanation - excellent lecturer (Allan Adams); he actually invites questions, repeats them and then gives cogent answers.
    It's the first time I've seen someone explain the relationship between eigenstates and Schrodinger's equation. Also how superposition falls out and is effectively a consequence of 'stationary states', therefore unaffected by time. This creates a physical distinction between the quantum world and the classical world, as he explicitly demonstrates; the interface being the 'collapse' of the wave function or 'decoherence' as he calls it, when superposition disappears. Since the wave function is 'all you need' and SE is 'not derived, just posited' makes me think it's a good candidate for the 'God' equation, meaning it fundamentally describes everything that's yet to come into being.

    For those already initiated in QM I repeat here some comments previously made to similar videos. They may clarify debatable points.
    The Schrödinger time dependent equation (STDE) when applied to a wave representing an initial state of, say, an electron bound to a proton and together forming a hydrogen atom, predicts and retrodicts all the future and previous states of the electron wave, in the same fashion than the evolution equations of classical mechanics predicts the movement of the Earth around the Sun. Note that the STDE is energy conservative, that is, the initial state as well as the predicted and retrodicted ones all have the same energy.
    As is well known the bound electron has a completely different conduct. Whatever the initial state and in absence of other interactions an excited electron will settle in a stationary state radiating energy (in the form of a photon) along the way. If the stationary state is the ground state the electron will stay there forever (in absence, as said before, of other interactions). Otherwise the stationary electron state is ephemeral and will be abandoned to radiate a photon and assume a new stationary state of even lower energy. This "down the staircase" process repeats until the ground state is reached. There is no manner to adapt the STDE to this physical process. This inconsistency was discovered by none other than Niels Bohr, as can be inferred from the report of Werner Heisenberg. See our note
    www.researchgate.net/publication/356193279_Deconstruction_of_Quantum_Wave_Mechanics
    After discovering the tremendous inconsistency it would have been natural to announce that the STDE contradicted with physical facts, and ask for a correct equation. I assume as true, but only know from hearsay very long ago, that in Einstein's viewpoint the correct deterministic time dependent wave equation had to be non-linear. References to this historical detail would be appreciated.
    It is hard to believe but, against reasonableness and common sense, Bohr decided to adopt the STDE as correct and that continuity, causality and determinism of physical processes were wrong because they contradicted the STDE. Apparently mathematical equations on paper were more relevant than the experience of the whole human race. Then a series of new and fanciful "quantum physical principles" were adopted.
    In my opinion the powerful quantum establishment dogmatically defends Quantism and strongly rejects any attempt to correct its misdeeds, even if the correct deterministic time dependent wave equation available.
    With best regards to all.

    You can also get some idea of the "decoherence" problem by determining the TYPE of infinity that the solutions can fall into when this occurs. Is it the smallest COUNTABLE infinity (Aleph Null in Cantor's system) -- the "rational numbers" -- or some higher infinity, such as the number of points on a line, "C" (called this because there is no proof that it is the next-highest type of infinity, though to my knowledge there is nothing between Aleph Null and C), which is, I think, the 'real numbers"? The former has separate, discrete values and the latter does not (its members flow smoothly into one-another with no "edges"). It seems to me that the former has to be true since all observers looking at a given result in a given universe see the same result, while the latter would allow somebody somewhere in that same universe to see a different result (slightly different or perhaps even very different), since the are no rigid "edges" (gaps between) to the values observed.

There are alot of important exceptions where market trends are natrually harmful to everyone. My social liberalism is clearly more 'important' than my slight econmic right-of-centre leanings.

We have must have exactly so many wave functions interacting or we can break things like smoothness and continuity which match closely with observation. Limiting behavior defying observation is also what led to the ultraviolet catastrophe, another artifact of quantization.

    I have studied the first one and I enjoyed them a lot !!
    I love the way Quantum Mechanics is teached and the very positive atmosphere of these lectures.
    I have found one explanation that didn't convice me.
    This is at 46 min about, during the solving of Shrödinger Equation (SE). Indeed, SE is simplified by replacing Psi(X,t) by Psi(X,0) and by replacing Energy operator by Energy Eigenstate. This is strange to replace Psi(X,t) by Psi(X,0) under the time derivative symbol because the result would be 0 in that case ... I think that one could apply Shrödinger equation at time 0 instead and therefore replace Energy operator by Energy eigenvalue and find the solution around time 0, then resolve this equation at time Delta t and so on ... and conclude that general solution is the one that is given in this video (perhaps another more straightforward way is possible).

    2. If the time gets collapsed or the time starts to run backward, I mean reverse, then how the wave function can be expressed ?
    3. As severally we read the time gets stopped inside the black hole, then can we really call a particle existing inside the black hole, as in eigen state ?
    ** If not so can it be possible to apply the time variant wave function at that place for computing energy ?
    *** If really we can't apply the time variant wave function, then is it true that the wave nature of any object disappears inside the black hole ?

    We discussed that we can-with superposition of Eigen state Schrodinger equation solutions make approximately solution to the Schrodinger equation for any state, where the coefficients are the norm squared of the probabilities. Does it make sense in any way to map those coefficients into something like a maclaurin series-so like for each value of the nth derivative (n is an integer) of the function you get a coefficient, with everything else equaling to zero? - to account for the collapsing. But the problem with that would be we won't know which coefficient corresponds to which collapsing. So maybe we could take combination (product) of all such derivatives in all terms-but each degree of derivative evaluated at a different value than every other in a term and than the same variable in every term-in such a way that the symmetry takes away every term other than the one or two that we are able to compute. The combination of all possible degrees of differential functions would mean-okay take everything else as constant and how does this change-remove thay-now everything else as constant and how does this change and so on. While the equation itself would be very long to write down unless someone finds a clever approximate non-polynomial function -but we can still clearly be able to identify the terms that don't cancel out.
    Is this the formulation of Max Born interpretation-so that the series continues to exist even after measurement.

    I love how the professor's level of passion for the field grows as the class progresses; clearly amped by the class grasping these counterintuitive and gorgeous mathematical models. It makes me nostalgic for those few short years of intense study, when you could pay to learn what you wanted to learn, in such a focused professional way; several radical departures from the first 12 years.

    22:00 So, why are the superposition principle and linearity different from each other? How can you have a linear wave equation without your wavefunctions obeying the superposition principle? How can the wavefunctions obey the superposition principle without the equation of which they are solutions being linear? Are we making a pedantic distinction between physical properties of a system and the mathematical properties of the equation that describes that system?

    • @VeteranVandal

      tokamak An example of a nonlinear equation that has the superposition principle in it:
      sin x = 0
      It is nonlinear (as you can readly tell) and its solutions are integer multiples of pi (neatly already homogenous) when considering just the real numbers. If you sum two solutions (equal or different) you get... Another solution. And that is additivity or superposition, at least in a very simple way.
      If y and z are two of the solutions of the equation above, one can clearly see that:
      sin (y+z) = sin(y) cos(z) + sin(z) cos(y)
      Because always when sin(x) = 0 => cos(x) = 1, implying, for instance:
      sin²(x) + cos²(x) = 1.
      Then:
      sin (y+z) = sin(y) cos(z) + sin(z) cos(y)
      = sin(y)*1 + sin(z)*1
      = sin(y)+sin(z) = 0+0 = 0
      As you can see superposition DOESN'T imply linearity. But the converse is true - even if there is no proof here, there is plenty of it elsewhere.
      Notice, however that this property doesn't apply to all x in our example (just the solutions, which seems to be good enough) and that it is not homogenous for all x in our example for similar arguments, even if homogenous for all solutions - and that seems, again, to be good enough.
      So superposition and linearity are different properties from each other, even if they are somehow related to each other. You can't have a linear equation without the superposition principle, but you can have a nonlinear equation WITH the superposition principle. We are not making a distinction between the properties of a system and the mathematical properties of the equation (but that is not physics or math, it is philosophy: some scientists would say you should make such distinction - Bohr would say that, actually - and other wouldn't); they are different properties.
      But your third question, I think, is not answered. What nonlinear wave equations with superpostions as its solutions can exist? I don't think we really KNOW the answer to this question.
      I've seen some examples of nonlinear equations with a superposition rule or a superposition principle even. But I don't know of any equation like that in quantum mechanics (I'm not an expert in nonlinear equations, though, and I think one could readly say that as well).
      So it would be interesting if somebody could tell me about some examples concernig such topics, just for curiosity - what I readly checked, in a quick search, was not entirely satisfactory or conclusive for me in that matter.

      to use a schrodinger equation first the superposition disappears and the wavw function collapses to a single one. so because the wave collapses i believe it needs not support the superposition principle.

    what, if anything, is the effect of electron mass of the time evolution? presumably the electron cannot travel faster than the speed of light, so does the mass set conditions on how much space an electron can travel in time given a certain energy value?

    • @geragarjim
      @geragarjim 8 років тому

      malaise69 In quantum mechanics the electron mass is always the rest mass, at high energies you should take into account relativistic effects then change the theory to relativistic quantum mechanics or even more to quantum field theory then the electron now becomes a field and the mass is only a parameter of the theory.

    Let's say at an instant we express a wavefunction as a superposition of energy Eigen functions. How can we prove that the time evolution of the wavefunction is given by the sum of the time evolutions of the individual Eigen functions. He said we can do it, but how can we prove it. I mean what if a particular superposition is only valid of an instant. I was solving the Schrodinger equation to prove this, but I am stuck
