bhobba reacted to Demystifier's post in the thread I Why can’t photons “pile up” to eject an electron? with
Like.
If you draw the Feynman diagrams for absorption of one and two photons, you see that they have one and two vertices, respectively, so... -
bhobba reacted to Demystifier's post in the thread I Schrödinger equation and classical wave equation with Like.
Schrodinger didn't know what is the physical meaning of the wave. He only used the nonrelativistic energy formula $$E=\frac{p^2}{2m}+...

bhobba reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics with Like.
In his textbook, he gives basically the same description you quoted, but he also says that an equivalent way of looking at the quantum...

This is how Ballentine presents the statistical interpretation--the ensemble is basically the abstract set of all instances of a given...

bhobba reacted to gentzen's post in the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics with Like.
Why do you think that I see an ensemble of particles? I see an experiment depending on some knobs, that I can repeat as often as I want...

bhobba replied to the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics.See: I haven't watched it myself - about to. It would seem he thinks none are any good. I believe his folk theorem clarifies a...

Wow, I had read Ballentine's orthodoxity measure as 0.88, but actually it is -0.88. Which makes total sense to me.

bhobba replied to the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics.Although well thought of by many, including me, it is not an orthodox approach. That said, it is the book I recommend studying...

bhobba reacted to A. Neumaier's post in the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics with Like.
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!

bhobba reacted to Peter Morgan's post in the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics with Like.
I would add 'Algebraic QM', which can be found in textbook form in https://arxiv.org/abs/1211.5627, by François David, (published as...

Don't worry Ballentine made it to the list.

bhobba reacted to Peter Morgan's post in the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics with Like.
tl;dr summary: We will not here consider quantum field theory whatsoever. I suppose that's part of what orthodoxy requires: we can...

Beck, G. (2025). How to be an orthodox quantum mechanic. https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.20597 From the abstract: From the conclusion:

bhobba replied to the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics.Yes, EFT is a issue for the orthodox interpretation. Even worse is if you take the relativistic limit of QFT, you still have the...

By the paper cited, we now know much better than we used to know....
