The thumbnail really looks like he's fighting with QM
:D yes
Yes you are right
He’s standing face to face with the final boss
🤣
I really thought it was a meme or something lmao
18:10 is an example of why this teacher is great. He doesn't just do some hand wavy crap or dismiss the question, but shows WHY on the black board. A teacher that can derive things from scratch is like GOLD
it goes both ways. some of my physics professors waste all of the lecture showing derivations, which is kinda useless because my textbooks already have the derivations and making the concepts clear to understand are the part the book lacks. a good balance between conceptual explanation and derivations is what makes this man such a great teacher.
Yes, he backs up everything he said with proof or examples.
Except there he was actually wrong because the dirac delta is not a function, hence the multiplication makes no sense at all in his definition.
That said, the dirac delta is indeed an operator (actually it is a tempered distribution or even more specifically a compactly supported distribution), but it is defined as follows:
delta_a(f) = f(a). It just becomes the evaluation of the function in the point a.
I think what he meant was the integral of the product he wrote. In that case we can use the fact that the linear functionals (aka distributions) act on test functions by integral product (usually the notation is similar to that of L^2 inner product, or in L^p-L^q product, which exists by Holder's inequality). The integral is well defined by at least one of the two being of compact support (or well behaved at infinity) and that's ok.
(I'm intending operator as in general term, the image space is obviously the complex field, hence functional would be more precise)
I think being able to derive things on the spot is the bare minimum that an expert should be able to do if he holds uni lectures. Unfortunately there he was caught a little off guard.
I've watched some lectures of Professor Zweibach's course on quantum mechanics and by what i can say, barton's and allan's combination is probably the best anyone can have in their lives for QM, thanks MIT OCW, love y'all for providing this!

Universe bless you MIT for making these invaluable lectures available to us. Thank you very much. My go to source for all my physics :)
*god bless
i have literally spent around an entire week.end downloading ALL lecture videos, lecture notes, assignments, exams, etc... for almost all courses... worth my time
@@dagkouta986 shut up
24:30-25:00, the explanation of eigenvectors that I'd have paid 80,000$ for.
I was just about to comment on the same thing. I've taken a full course of Linear Algebra but that explanation was better than anything i had in the LA course.
Check out 3blue1brown's playlist on linear algebra.
Boi that's just the definition really
Dude, that's the definition... Av=λv
yeah it insane how he simplified it(not many people can explain eigen values,vectors,states)
never saw a professor was applauded at the end of the courses. but dr. zweibach certainly deserved this. the best lecture on this topic I have put myself in.
This is the best lecture that I ever seen and it free. You helped many peoples. Very Clear. Bless you MIT.

This was one of the most mind blowing lectures in physics I've ever seen.
I love listening to this professor. Even the hard stuff goes down easier with his friendly delivery.

Are all the Professors at MIT so enthousiastic and smart?
Wonderful! It was updated to the high quality! Finally!
Thank you, MIT, for the value you put in us - self-learners, also thank you, for those who donate and make these lectures available for us. Hope I'll be listening to these lectures live as a student of MIT. Good luck to me! (I guess)

This is absolutely the PERFECT lecture for Schrodinger and I am so grateful for Dr. Z. He relates the math to the Physics, and makes sense of it all.. I need more :)
Where did you see physics here?
Watching this a few times will eventually result a eureka moment of understanding not only how the Schrodinger equation works and can be derived, but also how it MUST be just so. It also takes the oft used term 'wave function collapse', and fleshes it out into how the measured observable (x, p or whatever) has to be an eigenvalue of the original wave equation, and it is modulated by an eigenfunction of the operator of choice.
This lecture is presented with all the skill of a masterful prosecutor building up an unassailable case brick by brick, culimating with the 'got you'coupe de grace of crowning the E scalar value with its operative symbol, thereby unlocking the gateway to quantum wave mechanics.
It is little wonder that the students give a warm round of applause at the end of this. But had they been able to fully digest the minutiae and nuances of this talk, it would have easily been a standing ovation. This is the quantum mechanics equivalent of the brilliant James Burke series of Connections from the BBC, or the equally as scholarly (but not quite so charismatic) Mechanical Universe presentations by David Goodstein from CIT.
+Ron Toolsie Did I get the last "genius coup" at the end (1:19:30)? Does putting a hat on top of E mean to "force" the energy to be quantized, to take only certain discrete values (the eigenvalues)? And (consequently) the other "observables" too? And if yes: isn't also the uncertainty principle hidden in this equation?It's an excellent lecture and Prof. Zweibach should indeed get standing ovations. I saved the video twice to be sure ... : )
Thanks for the recommendations, I'm going to watch both of those episodes!
I love the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy reference
masterful teacher.....and a substitute for another world class lecturer
This particular episode is just epic. And I can kind of feel Prof. Adams's disappointment not being able to introduce the Schrödinger Equation himself in all its glory, having been laying its foundation for the last four lectures.

MIT professors are out of the world in explaining things making math speak out they are simply awesome
Amazing lecture. Well structured, clear and extremely engaging; it takes you on a journey where your knowledge and understanding of the topic progressively grows, but it's so balanced that it doesn't force anything on you.
That is only halfway correct. The problem with non-relativistic QM is that it is not a proper physical theory, but that is usually not being explained to you while you are learning it. One should, for instance, tell the student that the Schroedinger equation does not conserve energy, momentum and angular momentum and that the projection operator formalism for measurement balances this out in just the right way to arrive at the correct physical results for the kinds of systems that can be described by non-relativistic theory to begin with. That entire background is usually missing from QM 101 lectures, including this one.
This topic it's so hard and abstract but the professor made it look so clear, thats definition of a Genius , one who makes complex things easy

I studied quantum mechanics, from many different sources, But this is best one..... World's best!!!!! Thank you MIT And Dear Teacher.
I love to watch this, I dont understand much but its great lecture
I studied Quantum Mechanics more than 30 years ago - I wish I had had a lecturer like this one… 🙂
So much thanks for this MIT team, i love physics but my professors just cant explain it!
Eigen functions and Eigen values explained brilliantly.
Excellent Lecture very clear.
I have been going crazy trying to understand operators but this video really helped.

neatly and enthusiastically presented. thank you!
47:57 mathematicians were the first to work with abstract linear operators and infinite dimensional vector spaces, so I don't think you're giving them enough credit. Mathematicians don't think in just matrices.
However, it was an amazing lecture!
mathematics is the study of all patterns. Physics is basically concerned with patterns observable in this universe. Therefore, he made a little mistake there! Whatever, Physics discovers is within the realm of mathematics
I know this is a little old but I'll add: his description is probably what you'd get from an undergraduate math student, and it's a totally legitimate first attempt to try to understand the situation. If you showed it to a seasoned mathematician the response might depend on their specialty, but many would probably recognize right away that in finite dimensions commutators have trace zero. An analyst would be unfazed (operator algebras are a major part of the subject). An algebraist might tell you about the Weyl algebra, which is something that some might describe as slightly "pathological", but not really for the reason he describes (for one it is simple but not semisimple, a confusing conflict of terminology). Nevertheless, the Weyl algebra is well-studied so it's definitely not something that mathematicians shy away from.
Never saw someone explain Eigenvectors as greatly before ! 27.00
Watch 3B1B's video
27:00 - now click it.
Brilliantly given lecture, was really drawn in.

So the uncertainty of an operator is the standard deviation of that operator. It’s a measure of how spread out the probability density is from the maximum knowability or the mode of the pdf transformed by the operator.
As a Peruvian, I feel proud of this genius!
thank you thank you thank you this helped me so much THANK YOU
Beautiful blackboard hand writing to say the least of this professor, Awesome MIT Professorship!!
Magnificent lecture.
I love this lecture! Very clear and funny.

What a beautiful lecture.
Very good explanation for an ordinary man a boon lecture thanks a lot for the professor.
Wtf - this dude is so fluent its crazy. Love his style. Great teacher.
i love the "professor kidnapped by pirates" subplot
great work ! professor .
Very clear and interesting thank you.
high quality education as usual :)
Thank you so much for this great lecture 👏❤
Excellent explanation.
This was amazing lecture takes quantam mechanics to different dimension I can feel Prof Adams downcast on not able to introduce schorimder equation in it's full glory
1:03:11 here a is the Eigen value right?
And isn't modulas squared of Ca ie cofficient is the probability of getting one of the pure state, Instead of a?
this helped me to put my ideas in order thanks for share
still helpfull all these years later!
I don't get why there's two energy operators, the short one @1:15:39 and two term one @1:20:20 ? In what context can each be used?
Watching Mr. Barton Zwiebach's elegant explanation of deriving iħ ∂ψ/∂t = H^ψ (TDSE) and H^ψ = Eψ (TISE) is like going back in time to the first quarter of the 20th century and meeting one of the greatest minds in QM (Heisenberg in 1925 and Schrödinger in 1926), both of whom revolutionized physics with such cognitive cataclysm!
Anybody who shows you a "derivation" of the Schroedinger equation is performing a parlor trick for you. It can't be properly derived from anything, if for no other reason than that it's completely wrong. At most one could argue that it's a non-relativistic perturbation solution for quantum field theory, but I am not sure it's even that (you can see this because it doesn't include the Pauli exclusion principle, for instance, which should not drop out in a proper perturbation theory).
@12:09 I would have thought that the multiplication is the operator acting on a matrix and a vector. The latter one being the objects. Basically like this Mult(matrix, vector).
He is very funny at 49:0 when he goes on about how mathematicians struggle with the most simple case of commutation. He is right... you can get an entire lecture called "functional analysis" about that problem and it's quite ingenious.

Really good explanation
Very very good lecture. All the previous lectures was like isolat islands and focused to "draw attention to me I am hero" even the pirate theater target to the same. I think the fifth lecture by this gentlemen "great teacher" covered all the previous artistic plays. I think MIT may make a survey from different level of educated people like, those who know QM, familiar with QM or don´t know, to use the donated money on real lectures.

As a mathematician who has worked with the Weyl algebra I found his comments about mathematicians amusing, and quite wrong. There are things that mathematicians find difficult to understand in quantum mechanics since it has not been made rigorous but the Heisenberg commutation relation is not one of them.
John Smith
I think he was just teasing mathematicians. Of course, mathematicians work with infinite dimensional spaces and hold seminars on operator theory all the time. If it weren't for mathematicians, physics wouldn't be where it is today.
He is just refering to the fact that the Heisenberg commutator requires the operators to be unbounded, the other one does not. This is what makes it more complicated.

Why is there the conjugate of the wave function in the beginning ? For p
good lecture, i'm a bit confused about there being 2 energy operators though...any insight?
As schroedinger`s eq tells us they are equal, it is basically the same operator in different forms.. Kind of like 1+4 and 2+3 is the same number.
There is an error in the subtitles at 18:12 that repeats. Not direct delta but Dirac delta.
Thanks for your comment! It's fixed now. :)
MIT OpenCourseWare There is one more error at 52:02 . Not permission operators but hermitian operators.
The moment he said "I'm not gonna do that" I was immediately aware that this will be a tough ride :)
@45:50, why x and p order matters means that when you measure one you have difficulties measuring the other?
If you could measure them both like you would classically, then it shouldn't matter in which order you measure them.

Merci beaucoup MIT
Using the operator P42 ---> 42. Is this a reference to "The Hitchhikers Guide to The Universe" I wonder?
MIT: where your substitute teacher just happens to be one of planet Earth's leading minds in String Theory
In the last video a guess was made that =∫lΨ(x) l^2·p(x)·dx. In this video, p(x) has been cleverly replaced, but lΨ(x) l^2 has also been changed to Ψ*(x). Does anyone know why? As far as I see it a complex number times it conjugate would give us lΨ(x) l^2, når just the conjugate alone.

I think the student meant his question about the delta function being an operator in a different way. Hes asked himself whether it even makes sense to multiply anything f with the delta function.
Yes, one can multiply smooth test functions with the delta function just fine. The mathematical difficulties that arise in non-relativistic quantum mechanics are only pathological from an exact math perspective. They are not actual physical problems. It gets much, much worse in relativist quantum field theory where divergences are NOT caused by poor use of mathematics. They are the results of real physical phenomena and they have to be dealt with accordingly by using proper physical intuition about why they arise and how one can still extract useful phenomenological results from the formalism despite them.
Thanks a lot . I have a question : there are 2 energy operators !! One is the summation of the momentum and the potential operators , and the other is the one contains the partial time derivative !! Why :/ ?! I'm confused .
Ben Sama The first is the time-independent Schrodinger equation, which just calculates the energy eigenvalues of the eigenstates; the system as a whole is time-invariant and states don't evolve with time(stationary states). The second is the time-dependent Schrodinger equation which shows the time evolution of the states of a wavefunction when you don't measure a system to make it undergo collapse.

The build-up at the end is excellent! One question remains. He stated that Schrӧdinger Wave Equation is "deterministic." I cam cautious about accepting that but I would like to hear more about how it is deterministic.
it's deterministically probabilistic :) lol
More often than not, you'll get a range of answers but only that range of answers. It's deterministic in that sense.
Mace Right, in other words, the probabilities are deterministic in the sense that waves on an ocean affect other waves in a certain pattern?
The wave equation has no physical meaning. It's only when you calculate the probability function that you get real world implications. The wave equation will give you this probability function exactly. But, yeah, the probability function will never give you an exact answer as to the properties of a particle at a certain time.
That is what I'm to understand anyway...
CrushOfSiel OK, but the wave equation describes the mathematics of momentum of the photon while the particle is the math of position. What it "really" is there is no one answer at this point.
finally someone actually like to teach

The description got the professor's name wrong. He is Prof. Zwiebach, not Prof. Zweibach!
Nice catch! You are the first person to notice and mention it in 6 years!! We've updated the descriptions (Lecture 8 was also wrong).
there is also another version of 8.04 taught by Allan Adams, you guys can try him if you don't understand barton zwiebach
Do you have the link? I can't find it.

The mind matures faster at the age of 23 , an is continually maturing there after , making it unlawful for Governments or Monarchs or people of the country or religions to take such people under the said age of 23 and form a Military Force or army. Children are not human sacrifices. Good Health to you all. Catching the wind ? Catching the wind on the Twilight B101 . Catch up here with prophet, and profit. In addition to the age requirements for any form of Military Force (offensive/offense) at the more matured age of 23 until further wiser ; please vote for the drinking and smoking age to follow such age; while the disease and viruses ( or hay fever) are due to the practice of the present alcohol use. For There is room for argument , but its only concealing the heart. What is darkened . Therefore the argument is lost. Furthermore, no influenced or drug induced mind could possible have confidence or enough confidence in another to represent its being or well fare, the state of country or land , making thee incapable to vote under chemical influence or contamination . Please vote for drug testing for all voters , and such being the age of 23.Vote B23.We all thank you from the heavenly sky.
When such is understood , and not to be left out, are the facts about those who are in Collage , who the pupil best serves the country , principle an itself , than with a military force and should not be drafted or mandated to serve while in Collage or principle study . For principle protects the heart, heart land and people. Until further wiser.

5:48: "This operator acts to roughly give you the momentum of the particle."
except, that, as we all know, ih*psi ' = E*psi. It DNE p*psi, and never has. I am confused why he thinks that.
Just answered my own question:
When psi is taken as a derivative of time, then ihΨ ' = E*Ψ.
When psi is taken as a derivative of displacement, then ihΨ ' = p*Ψ....
at 2:20 I think it should be P(dx) = |Phi(x)|^2 *dx, since P(x)dx would be 0.
No, P(dx) would be meaningless. P(x) is the probability density at the point x - an ordinary function of x. The integral of P(x)dx over all x must = 1.
Around 34:09 he shows that V(x hat) Psi(x) = V(x) Psi(x)
I don't follow his argument / proof. Any help?
***** Thanks for the reply. It helped!
+David Gillooly Watch Lecture 4 again. Prof Adams demonstrates this operator there, and tells us how it works.
+David Gillooly It's a hermitian operator for a measurable in position x^hat, and it operates on the function to give you the position eigenvalue of the function. Kind of like having a continuity of infinitesimal kets and the operator gives you the eigenvalue of the ket. You can do that with most Potential functions as a measurable, this can be proven through taylor expansion as it acts on each variable.

I love wave function
Isnt there a mistake at 35:35 ? Should be ... + x*v(x)*psi(x), no? (the x is missing)
Same here i also thought about that but i think v(x) is one operator therefore it is v(x) . Psi(x) bot i do not know 100% if you find it let me know
1:08:30 - I do have to say I disapprove of things just being "handed down from on high" to be taken on faith. Last lecture we got handed the momentum operator, and this lecture we're getting handed Schrodinger's equation. That's not really "teaching" - that's just training technicians. On the other hand, I stumbled across this paper a couple of days ago:
www.researchgate.net/publication/328332637_How_to_Un-_Quantum_Mechanics
It's simply AMAZING how thoroughly the writer derives so much physics from such a meager starting point. I'm still pouring over it, gradually absorbing more and more content.
Thanks!
Hopefully my next girlfriend will be a Quantum Physicist. I am honest about this!
Lots of people are thumbing me up but no one is setting me up?
She probably is a Quantum Physicist somewhere - just not necessarily in this Universe.
