Let go of what you know about reality, okay? Okay. Now pay attention. Say the world is divided into two realms. There’s our realm, which is where particles act like particles and all questions we can ask about that particle have a definite answer. But don’t get too comfortable, because there’s...
Is the superposition of sound waves comparable to the superposition of a particle or more specifically (for an explanation's sake) an electron? OR are quantum superposition and "regular" superposition two unrelated things?
Well I guess the example would just be the definition of wave particle duality or the idea that a particle can have the properties of both a particle and a wave. I'm just wondering if that's true or not.
well I just see it a lot in articles detailing superposition or explaining light's behavior but other sites say it's wrong or not completely accurate so if that were true why is it still being used to explain bigger concepts?
Some sources say wave particle duality is very much a principal, others say it's oversimplified and not exactly true but still okay to use in order to explain things, and many say it's flat out wrong... so who's right? Can I say "wave particle duality" when talking quantum mechanics or no?
I'm a student trying to explain quantum superposition without using Schrodinger's cat. Instead, I'm trying to use the principal of wave particle duality to explain how a particle can be in multiple states (and locations) at once before it is observed due to wave properties. However, I'm unsure...
