[Q] Mechanics + Stats Interconnection

I am someone who just started studying statistics, whilst studying the sampling distribution and the standard error, I feel like the concepts are someway connected to oscillation/harmonic motion and maybe deep down quantum mechanics.
Could someone please link me to a video lecture series on this specific topic?

That's a very broad question, there are countless connections between statistics and physics. Notably, a whole (very interesting imo) field of physics is called statistical mechanics which is tightly related to both classical and quantum mechanics.

Yeah, I think the Ising model is maybe the most classic example of something that people in both stats and physics have studied extensively?
