WernerQH's latest activity
-
WWernerQH replied to the thread I Is there a bad intuition or bad explanation in quantum entanglement?.Gentzen, thanks for investigating. :-) My copy of that arxiv paper is dated February 15, 2024. So I probably became aware of it also...

WWernerQH replied to the thread I Is there a bad intuition or bad explanation in quantum entanglement?.A while ago @bhobba pointed to an interesting paper by T Padmanabhan: "Obtaining the Non-relativistic Quantum Mechanics from Quantum...

WWernerQH reacted to jjson775's post in the thread I Energy*time uncertainty for particle decay with
Like.
Thanks. This answered my question. -
WWernerQH reacted to Herman Trivilino's post in the thread I Energy*time uncertainty for particle decay with Like.
The position-momentum uncertainty principle is alive and well. I don't know the history, but certainly one still sees the erroneous...

WWernerQH reacted to JimWhoKnew's post in the thread I Energy*time uncertainty for particle decay with Like.
Did you mean: ? (my favorite Griffiths quotation)
-
WWernerQH replied to the thread I Energy*time uncertainty for particle decay.I think the first alternative is better, but it depends on how you define ΔE and Δt. For ## \Delta t ## it is customary to use the...

WWernerQH replied to the thread I Electron energy in atoms.A vector ## \ket{\Psi} ## in Hilbert space, multiplied by any complex number(*), represents exactly the same state. That's why it is...

WI learned that $$|e^{i\pi}|=|\pi^{ie}|=|i^{e\pi}|=1$$
-
WJust to add to all the correct comments that were made already: The wording above is dangerous because it mixes two different pictures...

WWernerQH reacted to JimWhoKnew's post in the thread I Visual depiction of atomic orbitals with
Informative.
##Y^m_l## is a function of two variables that has complex values on a sphere. Following @WernerQH in post #6, ##p_z## is described by... -
WWernerQH replied to the thread I Visual depiction of atomic orbitals.Wavefunctions are usually written down in a coordinate system where the z-axis is singled out, i.e. the azimuthal quantum number ## m ##...

WWernerQH reacted to ohwilleke's post in the thread A Physical properties of the vacuum in GR vs. QFT with Informative.
For the most part, the problem is that string theory and GUTs and other BSM models simply don't make predictions about parameters at...

WWernerQH reacted to Meir Achuz's post in the thread B What is the difference between B and H? with
Haha.
The confusion is due to SI units where B and H do have a complicated connection. In Gaussian units, H is just B-4\pi M, where M is...
