Description
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". A book of the course can be obtained from http://bit.ly/binneybook

Customer Reviews
Outstanding Course!
Everything about this series is first rate. Professor Binney is excellent, and the video and audio quality are both quite good. I have considered auditing a course in Quantum Mechanics for some time, and this course was just what I was looking for.
Though a good background in college mathematics is required, the relevant mathematics is covered in detail during the lectures. The text for the course is available online, and there are appendices covering some of the math and physics topics in detail.
I would highly recommend this course to anyone with a serious interest in learning Quantum Mechanics.
Thanks very much to everyone involved in making this course available on iTunesU.

Very strongly recommend
Having an MS and a BS in physics, I took many years of QM, this was the best course on the subject I ever witnessed. Truly outstanding.
Great material
Nice decent video which help me understand the quantum better
