In this series of physics lectures, Professor J.J. Binney explains how probabilities are obtained from quantum amplitudes, why they give rise to quantum interference, the concept of a complete set of amplitudes and how this defines a "quantum state".

This is a great introduction to QM but it is not an easy one. Some may benefit by taking a “modern physics” kind of course before this although it’s not required. Some of the techniques maybe a bit too slick sometimes for a first exposure (e.g. solving for things using Virial theorem, dimensional analysis, and scaling arguments! No explicit calculation!) but a slow and thorough watch (plus doing some good exercises) will definitely enlighten you :)
I would recommend studying linear algebra in ... more
What I wanted was hot tips on how to tighten my lousy MGB’s fan belt. Two or three hours in, I realised this podcast was SOMETHING ELSE entirely. I will refrain from speculating what that SOMETHING ELSE might or might not be. The effect on this humbled observer was utter discombobulationism. 🛸
James Binney believes that quantum uncertainty is simply a result of the measurement disturbing the quantum particle.
First off, I'm not without bias -- I was an undergraduate in the first run of these lectures, a year before these recordings. At the time, I found it very difficult to understand the subject at all, and Binney seemed to only reconfirm my fears. However, year after year, I still find myself coming back to him: the knowledge contained in these lectures (and in his book) is definitive, well written, and in a modern notation. It's the basis of so much that it's really worth putting the effort into u... more
Binney is constantly stopping to check his notes, is hesitant in his presentation, and is disorganized in his presentation of material -- the lectures are the work of a disorganized chalk pusher. Disappointing.
