The videos are long, but for the most part are right in line with our linear algebra based focus on quantum mechanics. The production values are not as good as the Essence of Linear Algebra videos, but it&#8217;s perhaps easier to take notes. Caution: I have not watched them all the way through with a fully critical eye, but my spot checks have not yet raised any alarms. Possibly helpful hints: I watched them at 2 times speed for the most part, slowing down when needed, and I paused and rewound quite often.\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pBh7Xqbh5JQ&amp;index=22&amp;list=PL04722FAFB07E38E1\">Quantum Mechanics Concepts 1: Dirac Notation and Photon Polarisation<\/a><\/strong> begins with a very thorough review of linear algebra and Dirac notation, before applying it to photon polarization (which is covered in Townsend Chapter 2.7).<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zNMzUf5GZsQ&amp;list=PL04722FAFB07E38E1&amp;index=23\">Quantum Mechanics Concepts 2: Photon Polarisation (continued)<\/a><\/strong> is descriptively titled.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Uy0RiRy6PGg&amp;index=24&amp;list=PL04722FAFB07E38E1\">Quantum Mechanics Concepts 3: Electron Spin<\/a><\/strong> is tied to the Stern-Gerlach experiments and electron spin concepts\/mathematics that we are studying in Townsend Ch. 1 and 2.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Please use the comments to suggest resources relevant to our QM current material (Townsend Chapters 1 and 2).
