MIT OpenCourseWare · Allan Adams · 2013
Allan Adams' celebrated course starts from superposition and the experimental facts, builds the wavefunction, operators and the Schrödinger equation, then tours scattering, hydrogen, identical particles and band structure before closing on entanglement and Bell's theorem. Calculus and a little linear algebra are enough to keep up.
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.
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.
Lecture · MIT
MIT OpenCourseWare · Barton Zwiebach
A 13-minute segment of Barton Zwiebach's MIT 8.04 (Spring 2016) devoted to entanglement. Watch it next to this section's factoring argument and keep the definition in front of you: a joint state is entangled exactly when it cannot be written as one particle's state times the other's.
Lecture · Oxford
Artur Ekert
A short segment from the entanglement lecture of Artur Ekert's quantum-information course, posted on his own channel. It comes between 'Bell states' (3.4) and 'Quantum teleportation' (3.7), and its subject, shared randomness, is this section's 'perfect agreement, perfect randomness' in quantum-information language. Ekert is also the physicist who proposed turning such correlations into a secret key (Part 7).
Lecture · Yale
Yale University · John Preskill
Caltech's John Preskill gives a 2016 Leigh Page Prize Lecture at Yale that runs from quantum error correction to black holes. The start jumps to his chapter 'Polyamorous Correlation' (42:43), which leads into 'Monogamy' (43:19), this section's key property. Earlier chapters are 'Quantum Copy Machines' (6:47; compare Part 5's no-cloning callout) and 'Decoherence' (24:50), the fragility this section ends on.
