Like.
Not "wave", "wave function". It provides the weighted distribution of all the places where you might find a particle. When used that... -
bhobba reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Graduate Quantum interpretations and indistinguishable elementary particles with Like.
To clarify a point that might be confusing here, in the light of what I said in post #8 earlier in this thread: if I have a single...

You still don't appear to grasp that "an individual physical system" in QM is not the same thing as an individual elementary particle...

Yes. Nobody is disputing that. But, as I've already pointed out, this fact has nothing to do with ensemble interpretations vs...

bhobba reacted to Lord Jestocost's post in the thread Graduate Quantum interpretations and indistinguishable elementary particles with Like.
As far as the term “identical particles” is concerned, there is probably no need for any interpretation-related issues in physics...

bhobba replied to the thread Graduate Quantum interpretations and indistinguishable elementary particles.It's trivial in QFT. Ordinary QM is only an approximation to the relativistic limit of QFT. There are no antiparticles in ordinary...

Love.
I've read Misner, Thorne, & Wheeler in full, more than once, as well. Which took, um, quite a bit longer than it took to read... -

Then why do you keep bringing up elementary particles? Ballentine? I've read it completely, multiple times. Sure, Ballentine advocates...

bhobba replied to the thread Undergrad On computing quantum waves exactly from classical action.Some nice papers/videoes here - well worth the time to read/watch. Thanks Bill

bhobba reacted to Peter Morgan's post in the thread Undergrad On computing quantum waves exactly from classical action with Like.
Also of interest is an article in MIT News and that someone on 𝕏 pointed out that a preprint by Frank J Tipler is somewhat similar (I...

That depends on the specific scenario. In some cases you can describe a single elementary particle with a specific wave function and...

bhobba reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Graduate Quantum interpretations and indistinguishable elementary particles with Like.
Not at all. You just need to be clear about what "individual physical system" your wave function is describing. As in the example I gave...
