Some light quantum mechanics (with MinutePhysics)

The video explores the foundations of quantum mechanics, focusing on light and waves. It begins with an introduction to electromagnetic fields and Maxwell's equations, then delves into the mathematics of waves, including polarization and superposition. The transition from classical to quantum mechanics is explained, highlighting the concept of photons. The video also covers quantum experiments that demonstrate superposition and the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics. It concludes with resources for further learning.
