Quantum theory is probably the most important discovery of the 20th century. It made it possible to understand atoms, then to understand chemistry (the chemistry bond is important to biology), particle physics and electronics.

Cornell University is hosting a series of video lectures on Quantum Mechanics presented by one of it’s principal architects – Hans Bethe.

They were taped in 1999 when he was 93 years old, 6 years before he passed away. Hans was a refugee from Nazi Germany in 1935, started up the Cornell Department of Physics into the top rank, became a key figure in the Manhattan project and eventually launched the United States into the field of high energy elementary particle physics.

These videos are suitable for experts and non-experts alike, they cover the basics of Quantum Theory as well as its historical perspectives, enjoy.
