Lecture - 1 Introduction to Quantum Physics;Heisenberg''s uncertainty principle
Why Physics Stack Exchange recommends it
Physics Stack Exchange answerers point people to it as a free, full-length university course on quantum mechanics, including matrix mechanics and the uncertainty principle.
Recommended by 3 people across 3 different months, 2011 to 2016.
What it is
The first lecture in an NPTEL series on quantum physics by Prof. V. Balakrishnan of IIT Madras. It introduces quantum physics and covers Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, and it is part of a roughly 31-lecture course given to undergraduates.
Cited in 1 Wikipedia article, including Uncertainty principle.

This is an excellent question, more at the end. As per Dr. Balakrishnan below: The uncertainty principle actually states a fundamental property of quantum systems, and is not a statement about the observational success of current technology. It has been confused with the observer effect on some measurements. The observer effect was used by Heisenberg as a physical analogy, not an explanation of the quantum phenomenon. This phenomenon is true regardless of the presence or absence of an observer. He reinterpreted quantum theory, not using Schrödinger's wave equation, but using matrix mathematics, although those who use wave mechanics also have their own mathematical explanation of the inherent
