The principal quantum number (𝑛) is a fundamental parameter in quantum mechanics that determines the size and energy level of an electron's orbit within an atom. It is a positive integer that represents the main energy level or...

Characterised by the symbol 𝑙l, the azimuthal quantum number is a fundamental parameter in quantum mechanics that describes the angular momentum and form of an electron's orbital within an atom. The integer values it accepts range from...

Everyone has trouble with electron configurations and quantum numbers. Well today we are going to settle the score with a little practice!

The Stern-Gerlach experiment, which took place in 1922, was the most important proof that electrons have spin and that they have a spin quantum number. A stream of silver atoms was sent through an experiment using a magnetic field...

Why do certain elements have similar properties? Because of the way electrons are arranged around the nucleus of atoms. But why are electrons arranged specifically in certain orbitals and shells? The structure of...

Quantum entanglement is a physical resource, like energy, that is possible between quantum systems. When a coin spins on a flat surface, it’s in a state of superposition between its two faces—head and tails. Similarly, electrons in their...

Practice REAL problems from actual past IIT/JEE exams with Professor Dave!

Orbitals! Oh no. They're so weird. Don't worry, nobody understands these in first-year chemistry. You just pretend to, and then in second-year you learn them a little better, the following year a little better, and once you have a PhD...

In this video Paul Andersen explains how the quantum mechanical model of the atom refined the shell model. Uncertainty of the position of the electron as well as spin forces chemists to create an improved model. In this model the...

Wolfgang Pauli's Exclusion Principle, developed in 1925, is a crucial concept in quantum mechanics. It states that two electrons in the same atom cannot have the same set of quantum numbers, which are the principal quantum number (𝑻n),...

It Explains the quantum mechanical model and Schrodinger wave equation

This video explains Shor’s Algorithm, a way to efficiently factor large pseudoprime integers into their prime factors using a quantum computer. The quantum computation relies on the number-theoretic...

Your extensive posting history on r/birdswitharms and your old fanfiction-heavy livejournal are both one tiny math problem away from becoming public knowledge. That math problem is prime number factoring, and the new era of quantum...

“A moving arrow is at rest.” This is obviously a nonsensical contradiction. But Zeno, a Greek philosopher famous for his metaphysical trolling, devised a paradox whose conclusion is just this. Here’s how it goes: if you look at an...

What is the math behind quantum computers? And why are quantum computers so amazing? Find out on this episode of Infinite Series.

Get to know the unique properties of quantum computers and the obstacles that have prevented this theoretical technology from becoming a reality. -- Quantum computers could eventually outstrip the computational limits of classical...

Where are you right now? Until you interact with another particle you could be any number of places within a wave of probabilities. This is only one way that quantum mechanics challenges our perception of reality. Matt dives into these...

Quantum computing is cool, but you know what would be extra awesome - a quantum internet. In fact if we want the first we’ll need the latter. And the first step to the quantum internet is quantum cryptography.

In this glimpse into our technological future, cryptographer Craig Costello discusses the world-altering potential of quantum computers, which could shatter the limits set by today's machines -- and give code breakers a master key to the...

Classical computers struggle to crack modern encryption. But quantum computers using Shor's Algorithm make short work of RSA cryptography. Find out how.

Quantum mechanics is perhaps the most unintuitive theory ever devised. And yet it's also the most successful, in terms of sheer predictive power. Simply by following the math of quantum mechanics, incredible discoveries have been made....

Planck's Length is the length below which the concept of length loses its meaning. What exactly does that mean and what are the incredible implications this fact has upon our reality? To find out check out this episode of Space Time...
