Week 7 of the class introduces QM. It is difficult to understand. Still, it is fundamental for how things work at the atomic level…  
this is a nice lecture --if anyone is interested in learning a little about the history of Quantum Mechanics from a great physicist, check out [History of Quantum Mechanices](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hVmeOCJjOU), it is fun!

Thanks for sharing this Sonal. It was fun and I think it will help as I move on in the black holes course. I can hardly wait till I start week 7 (not). This is all way over my head, but Sean made it sound ok if I don’t get it!
