Like.
One could argue that if the electron does not exist between measurements, then it cannot be described by a state or wave-function (or... -
A. Neumaier replied to the thread Undergrad One does not “prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics.It would mean that the Schrödinger equation (or whatever differential equation the state is assumed to satisfy) breaks down somewhere.

A. Neumaier replied to the thread Undergrad One does not “prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics.More interesting (and applicable to QFT) is the book A. Hobson, Fields and Their Quanta, 2024. It also gives a realist account...

A. Neumaier replied to the thread Undergrad Physicists disagree wildly on what quantum mechanics says about real….See, e.g., the discussion in the last two sections of D. Wallace, The quantum theory of fields, and his Reading List in Philosophy of...

A. Neumaier replied to the thread Graduate Universal quantum physics.I tried to define everything that is not in typical textbooks. For a single field ##\phi##, the N-point function is simply the map (and...

A. Neumaier replied to the thread Graduate Universal quantum physics.A (classical or quantum) particle is a quantum field concentrated at each time in a small region of space. I tried to avoid the use of...

A. Neumaier replied to the thread Graduate Universal quantum physics.It is finished for submission, and I put it online to get some early feedback before actually submitting it (in a few weeks). So the...

A. Neumaier replied to the thread Undergrad A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics.But his book is nearly as far as possible from the consensus textbook orthodoxy; see the last paragraph of p.20 in Beck's paper!

A. Neumaier replied to the thread Undergrad A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics.Orthodoxy is what is (by most textbooks) imparted to students when they have to learn quantum mechanics. That automatically excludes...

A. Neumaier replied to the thread Undergrad Question about discussions around quantum interpretations.Good theories (of which good models are anintegral part) have a high explanatory power, revealed by appropriate computations (that...
