Introduction to Quantum Superposition

Allan AdamsDistinguishedMIT

Associate Professor of Physics

1:16:06·2014·undergraduate level
Path step 3: Introduces quantum superposition through concrete two-state thought experiments.

Famous MIT OCW opening lecture (9M+ views): Allan Adams builds chained Mach-Zehnder electron color/hardness boxes on the chalkboard until every classical hidden-variable explanation collapses.

MIT 8.04 Quantum Physics I, Spring 2013

In this lecture, Prof. Adams discusses a series of thought experiments involving "box apparatus" to illustrate the concepts of uncertainty and superposition, which are central to quantum mechanics. The first ten minutes are devoted to course information.
