Course · Oxford
University of Oxford · James Binney · 2009–10
James Binney's Oxford course, given over Michaelmas Term 2009 and Hilary Term 2010 and built on probability amplitudes and Dirac notation from the very first lecture. Highlights: tunnelling and radioactive decay, the EPR argument and Bell's inequality, spin and the Stern–Gerlach experiment, and a full treatment of hydrogen.

MIT OpenCourseWare · Barton Zwiebach · 2016
The same course rebuilt as 115 short segments of roughly ten to twenty minutes, each devoted to one idea, so you can watch exactly the concept a chapter needs. Barton Zwiebach is meticulous: every step on the board is justified.
Lecture · Royal Institution
The Royal Institution · Sean Carroll · 2020
Sean Carroll tells the story from Planck and Einstein through Bohr, de Broglie and Schrödinger, then argues that the measurement problem is still open and makes his case for the many-worlds interpretation. Notice where the history ends and his interpretation begins.
Lecture · MIT
MIT OpenCourseWare · Allan Adams · 2013
A full MIT 8.04 lecture by Allan Adams. The first part previews quantum computing (the no-cloning theorem, met briefly in Part 5 and fully in Chapter 24, and the Deutsch–Jozsa algorithm of Chapter 23); the last part is devoted to the EPR experiment and Bell's inequality, the ideal bridge from this chapter to the next. Best watched after the lesson.
Lecture · Royal Institution
The Royal Institution · Jim Al-Khalili · 2025
A Friday Evening Discourse recorded at the Ri in November 2025, a century after Heisenberg's breakthrough: a hundred years of quantum theory, from the 1920s pioneers to the technologies being built now. Keep asking which claims are experiment and which are interpretation.
Lecture · Perimeter
Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics · Shohini Ghose · 2020
Physicist Shohini Ghose of Wilfrid Laurier University surveys the quantum technologies that grow out of superposition and entanglement, from quantum computers to secure communication. A clear public lecture given at Perimeter Institute in March 2020.
Lecture · Nobel Prize
Nobel Prize · Michel H. Devoret · 2025
"From macroscopic quantum phenomena to artificial atoms": Michel Devoret on how a circuit's quantized energy levels — measured in the same experiments — became the foundation of today's superconducting qubits.
Lecture · Nobel Prize
Nobel Prize · Alain Aspect · 2022
"From Einstein's doubts to quantum technologies": Alain Aspect on his Orsay experiments of the early 1980s, which tested Bell's inequality with fast-switching polarizers, and on how entanglement went from philosophical puzzle to technological resource.
Lecture · Nobel Prize
Nobel Prize · John F. Clauser · 2022
"Experimental proof that nonlocal quantum entanglement is real": John Clauser on the 1972 Freedman–Clauser experiment at Berkeley, the first experimental test of a Bell inequality, and what it took to build it.
Lecture · Nobel Prize
Nobel Prize · Anton Zeilinger · 2022
"A Voyage through Quantum Wonderland": Anton Zeilinger on quantum teleportation, entanglement swapping and loophole-free Bell tests, told by the physicist whose group performed many of those experiments.
