Keith Baker, professor of physics, talks about the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator, near Geneva, Switzerland. The ATLAS experiment will look for exotic forms of matter, including dark matter, that have never before been detected.

The Large Hadron Collider: Revealing Secrets of the Universe

Scientists have long dreamed of building a quantum computer capable of processing enormous amounts of data and solving complex problems at ultra-high speeds. Now a team of Yale engineers has taken a major step forward by building the world's first solid-state, two-qubit quantum processor capable of running simple algorithms. Steven Girvin, Yale's Eugene Higgins Professor of Physics and Applied Physics, explains the design, what the processor is capable of doing, and the promise that quantum computing holds for the future.

Engineering the World's First Solid-State Quantum Information Processor

Jack Harris, assistant professor of physics and applied physics, and one of Discover magazine's "20 Under 40" for 2008, discusses his experiments to measure the force of light.

Exploring the Force of Light

Professor Urry, Chair of Physics and the Israel Munson Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Yale, discusses the surprise discovery of dark energy, how we're trying to uncover what it is, and what it ultimately means for the fate of the universe.

The Mysteries of Dark Energy

Robert J. Schoelkopf, professor of applied physics, and Steven Girvin, Eugene Higgins Professor of Physics at Yale discuss their breakthrough results in quantum computing research.

So interesting. Keep making some more. Good job😁

Love it

If I could rate Dr. Shankar&#39;s lectures with more than 5 stars, I would! With just a piece of chalk, Dr. Shankar communicates physics from first principles and demonstrates mathematically why formulae we&#39;ve come to love &amp; memorize hold true. This IS physics as a science &amp; art!

 I took Physics 200 with his predecessor, Michael Zeller, over 20 yrs ago &amp; now teach AP physics. These videos are an invaluable resource, more helpful than Halliday &amp; Resnick &amp; teacher trainings. Dr. Shankar consistently chooses the most elegant derivations - brevity thy name is wit - &amp; I am glad that the Electricity &amp; Magnetism series is now available.

BTW, yes, that was Dr. Shankar on the iPad 2 ad!

6 stars!
