That's because QFT adds nothing useful to the treatment of entanglement, as far as making predictions goes, that's not already contained... -
Because quantum fields are fundamentally non-local objects. Which many would say is not really an explanation, just a restatement of the...

bhobba replied to the thread Undergrad How can light be a wave and particle at the same time?.Because it's neither. It's a disturbance in a quantum field that pervades all space. For the gory technical details...

Like.
The electron and the photon are particles, by definition. They are defined by their generic properties, as per the standard model of... -

No, they're not... Yes, but a quantum field is not a wave. It's a quantum field. Your next sentence contradicts this: Yes, and it's...

The "light is both a particle and a wave" description is a rather outdated and non-precise description of our understanding of light...

Hello! I decided to solve following equations: 1) Let ##2^x=0##: ##2^x=2^{2x}## and then ##x=0##. ##2^0=0## 2) Let ##2^x=1##...

Where in the world did you even get this from?

Equation 1 has no solution: ##2^x > 0## for all ##x \in \mathbb{R}##. The only "value" satisfying ##2^x = 0## is ##x = -\infty##, which...

bhobba reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Graduate Sidney Coleman's opinion on interpretation in his Dirac lecture with Like.
He says "associated with". Why not just "is"? Because actually, no, the position he describes is not Everett's relative state...

bhobba reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Graduate Sidney Coleman's opinion on interpretation in his Dirac lecture with Like.
But his analysis does not do that. An Everett type of explanation makes crucial use of the entanglement between the measuring device (or...

bhobba reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Graduate Sidney Coleman's opinion on interpretation in his Dirac lecture with Like.
Yes, he does claim that he can explain how it appears that a definite single outcome occurs. From the last paragraph of the paper...
