This course familiarizes you with quantum mechanics in a clear and simple but still scientific way.
It will decisively help you with studying quantum physics and acing your exams.
You will learn all topics that are typically covered in an introductory level university course.
The emphasis is on actually understanding the underlying ideas instead of purely mathematical computations.
You will gain a bigger picture of the whole topic.
This course will equip you with a very solid basis for even higher quantum mechanics.
This course will empower you to reveal popular but wrong assumptions about quantum mechanics.

Quantum mechanics

Perhaps the most popular theory of all of physics.

Very small particles behave in strange ways. The microcosm is a highly interesting and concurrently very unintuitive place. That’s one of the most obvious findings in quantum mechanical theory. And as much as it astonishes us, it will often leave us quite confused.

That’s when this course comes into play. My aim with it is to facilitate a figurative and extensive understanding of what quantum mechanics really is. This course throws a bridge between an all-to-theoretical university course and a set of oversimplified explanatory videos.

And how? The motto with this course is to focus on understanding instead of plunging right into great mathematical detail. We will learn all typical model systems, theories and peculiarities of quantum mechanics with as few maths as possible and as much as needed. It will decisively help you to gain a bigger picture of all of quantum mechanics.

In 5.5 hours of video lectures all topics of a typical introductory course at university will be covered.

With a lot of graphic arts, comparisons and flashbacks to really get a sense of what’s going on in the quantum world.

Beautifully designed and clearly animated.

This course is for everyone who brings about a great interest in the mysterious and beautiful quantum world and especially for university students who not only want to be able to do all sorts of computations but also really like to understand what lies beneath.
