bhobba reacted to martinbn's post in the thread Graduate Entanglement swapping and Bohmian mechanics with
Like.
What about the case where the measuremtns on A and D are done, the particles no loger exist and only then B and C are measured? This a... -
bhobba reacted to Demystifier's post in the thread Graduate Entanglement swapping and Bohmian mechanics with
Love.
Since the recent thread on Bohmian mechanics (BM) is now closed, I open a new thread in which I want to explain something that bothers... -
bhobba replied to the thread Undergrad Spatial separation of entangled particles implies physical separability?.It's better to think in terms of Quantum Field Theory (QFT) for this one. Entangled particles are a single excitation of the field, so... -
bhobba reacted to Matterwave's post in the thread Undergrad Spatial separation of entangled particles implies physical separability? with
Like.
Are you reading the EPR paper? It was an implicit assumption of EPR that sufficient spatial separation implies non-interaction. They... -

Like.
If you mean they usually move away from the source in different directions, yes, that's a common feature of such experiments. I'm not... -

Like.
What do you mean by "complete physical disconnection", and why do you think "distinguishability and spatial separation" would... -
bhobba reacted to UyScuti's post in the thread Studying Correlating IQ and STEM performance with
Like.
A question like this can really be said to be one of the most controversial questions in STEM. A person attempting to answer risks... -
bhobba reacted to aletheia's post in the thread Undergrad Are classical optics and quantum mechanics double slit experiments fundamentally the same? with
Like.
I understand. My bad. I apologize. It won’t happen again. -

Like.
No one has ever told you otherwise. Indeed, the PF rules that you signed up to when you joined tell you that you should provide links to... -

Like.
Understood. Yes I’m getting used to the forum. Now I understand that I may provide links to mainstream well established articles —... -
bhobba reacted to Matterwave's post in the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM with
Like.
I don't view it that way. Energy as a concept is quite well defined and precise within each physical theory. Indeed that definition... -
bhobba reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Graduate How valid is the indivisible interpretation of quantum mechanics? with
Like.
But this throws away relativity, since the QFT Schrodinger equation forces you to pick a particular frame, which makes your definition... -
bhobba reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Graduate How valid is the indivisible interpretation of quantum mechanics? with
Like.
Of course. But that doesn't mean the mathematical objects are reality. Nor does it mean that the mapping in question has to be simple... -
bhobba reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Graduate How valid is the indivisible interpretation of quantum mechanics? with
Like.
What restrictions are there on the dynamics in the actual theoretical model under discussion that would ensure that they are... -
bhobba reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Graduate How valid is the indivisible interpretation of quantum mechanics? with
Like.
Everything in a theory of physics is mathematical objects. I'm not describing any particular reading of QFT. I'm just pointing out that...
