Thirty evening talks from the Royal Institution's lecture theatre in London, where Faraday once lectured: quantum fields, quantum biology, sensors, the quantum internet and the meaning of it all. Pick any one; each stands alone.
Lecture · Perimeter
Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics · Nima Arkani-Hamed · 2014
One of the most original theorists working today on why quantum mechanics and gravity together suggest that spacetime itself may not be fundamental. Delivered at Perimeter Institute in November 2014; demanding in places, exhilarating throughout.

Fermilab's Dr. Don Lincoln introduces the two great families of particles and how spin decides which family a particle joins. Watch for why fermions build the structure of matter while bosons are free to crowd together: that contrast is the spine of today's session.

CERN's own three-and-a-half-minute 3D animation of ALPHA-g: antihydrogen made from positrons and antiprotons inside the ALPHA atom trap, then dropped to see which way it falls. It shows the machinery behind the 2023 result that closes this section.
Lecture · Perimeter
Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics · Netta Engelhardt
A Perimeter public lecture on Hawking's puzzle of whether information ever escapes a black hole, given by one of the physicists this section credits with the 2019 Page-curve calculations. The natural sequel to the 2018 PBS briefing video, which ends before that work.

Fermilab
Fermilab's eight-minute report on the 2025 final result of the Muon g-2 experiment, the anomaly this section uses as a case study in science correcting itself. Note that the measurement itself held steady; as the section explains, the anomaly largely faded because lattice QCD brought the theoretical prediction into line with it.

A short episode from Fermilab's Quantum Physics series with Don Lincoln and colleagues. Watch it alongside Chapter 25.
Series · Fermilab
Fermilab · Don Lincoln and colleagues
Short, precise episodes from Fermilab, many with Don Lincoln: what quantum mechanics is really about, entanglement, quantum electrodynamics and chromodynamics, quantum field theory and quantum foam, plus a look inside the lab's quantum-computing and networking work.

PBS Space Time
Goes beneath the slogans into the counting itself: how treating particles as truly identical changes the number of distinct arrangements, and how that produces the Fermi–Dirac and Bose–Einstein distributions you will meet in Part 3. Best watched after the lesson.

Serious Science
One of the three physicists who made the first atomic condensates in 1995 explains laser cooling and evaporative cooling in his own words. The perfect companion to Part 4.
