26:05Now PlayingWe've learned a bit about quantum mechanics from a strictly conceptual and qualitative standpoint. But now it's time to dig a little deeper. Quantum mechanics is mathematics, so if we want to understand it on a fundamental level, we have to dig into the math. Unfortunately, the math is rather complex, so a solid understanding of linear algebra and differential equations is assumed here. But luckily, I have covered all of these topics in my mathematics playlist, so if you are committed to understanding quantum mechanics but don't have the math background, just head over there first to get the math down, and then this stuff will make sense! In this video, we start out by learning about operators, what they are and how to use them, the position and momentum operators, and how to apply them to the wavefunction. Don't be scared, it's fun!
