Why it's here

Recommended as an approachable way to understand the quantum nature of light and basic quantum math without heavy machinery.

What it covers

3Blue1Brown, in collaboration with minutephysics, introduces the math of superposition and quantum states using polarized light. It builds up the quantum behavior of photons as a simple counting and probability problem.
