Lecture 3: The Wave Function

Big up to MIT for offering these OCW lectures. I have learned Calculus, Classic Physics, Linear and Abstract Algebra, and Quantum Physics and I didn't even have to pay late library book fees. 👍🏾 Thanks MIT, for being conscientious and gracious! 🎉💥🪅🎇🤸🏽‍♂️🕺🏿💃🏼🎆🎊🙏🏾

Fell asleep watching a ghost hunting video, woke up and this was on my TV thanks to autoplay. I didn't even feel groggy waking up because I was so alarmed by how good of a teacher this guy is. I'm more of a molecular biology person but I think I'll continue watching these!

A class that ends with an applause. That is how all classes should be.

i think this kind of high quality content makes the world a better place for seekers.

Whoever filmed this did a great job. Panning and framing. Spot on.

love this guys passion

Teaching in MIT is like a superstar singing on stage. Everyone claps for the good performance.. Holy moly

I wish I took school more seriously as a kid so I could go to this school. This professor is amazing and I love his passion.

Six years ago, after I retired, I went through these lectures and the second semester with Dr. Zwiebach. Simply outstanding. I am back for a bit of review. Thanks Dr. Adams and Dr. Zwiebach.

Oh my goood, how can this be so much better than at my university?? The whole structure and order in which this is taught are just so clear!!

I wish I could get into MIT. These lectures have me hooked in a way I’ve never been hooked before. I’m trying my hardest to understand and I think I’m getting there

I love the way the teacher brings those abstract postulates to live. In so doing he makes quantum mechanics crystal clear. He does it so well that one can not help feeling that there can't be a better way to put it (and I have thought about it several times). This work is invaluable! Just brilliant.

I love this so much. Trying to decide on Electrical Engineering or Physics. Did a long stint with the Marines and now using G.I. bill at a wonderful community college for freshman year. I have not been in school for a long time lol. MIT is still a dream and it feels SO good to be able to just listen. Watching these videos let's me know that I AM smart enough to sit here, even if life may not allow it right now. To be able to touch my mind to something I have wanted since I was a child is a gift and I wanted to say thank you to MIT and Prof Adams for doing this. One day, even if I am retired, I will take a degree at MIT , so stay awesome!!!!

I have my class 11 English language exam tomorrow, and here I am at 10 pm learning about wave functions,(this lecture is amazing and addictive though).

You are my favorite teacher. I watched these lectures for the first time about four years ago. Because of these lectures, I have a very good understanding of basic quantum mechanics. I just completed my post-graduation from IIT Guwahati recently. These lectures were very helpful during the last four years.

Great lecture. Can't wait for the free pizza at 5!

Absolutely in awe at what Dr. Adams can do with just whiteboard and chalk. In another life perhaps I'd be in that classroom, or better yet in another world, following the Many Worlds interpretation of this beautiful subject.

9:32 When he realizes how long we've been working on quantum theory he looks like a father proud of his son's progress. If I weren't dedicated to applying physics in the more esoteric corners of computer engineering that moment alone would have pushed me into pure physics.

11:54 "Happy electrons" this guy is the Bob Ross of Quantum

Man, I love this lecturer! He's so enthusiastic!
