Then I would hold off on learning about quantum mechanics. A better use of your time would be revising what in America what we al... -
DDanteKennedy replied to the thread High School Seemingly odd quantum tunneling.I admit that it could get annoying, hehe. But thank you for answering some of my questions, even the QM guide
-
DDanteKennedy replied to the thread High School Seemingly odd quantum tunneling.I wonder if large object can be treated as many independent particles in quantum framework. If a single particle has higher tunneling...

A human being (and other life) grows by cell division. Your question would be what stops an entire human being spontaneously cloning... -
DDanteKennedy replied to the thread High School Seemingly odd quantum tunneling.So for large objects, their wave function is so localized and are constantly being measured by their surroundings, effectively pinning...

That's because tunneling is a consequence of superposition. For example, suppose that at time ##t## the particle can tunnel from the... -
DDanteKennedy replied to the thread High School Seemingly odd quantum tunneling.But how exactly is the process of collapsing superposition leads to the effective prevention of tunneling for large objects?

No, the number of degrees of freedom is not directly related to the size of the system. It is more directly related to the number of... -
DDanteKennedy replied to the thread High School Seemingly odd quantum tunneling.Interesting. Are degrees of freedom a dimensionality for quantum object? Like the x y z of a 3d plane (or roughly like that)?

Yes, decoherence. Macroscopic objects have many degrees of freedom, which interact with many degrees of freedom from the environment, so... -
DDanteKennedy replied to the thread High School Seemingly odd quantum tunneling.Hmm, so this is related to the exponentially smaller tunneling probability on the earlier part of this thread? And also related to the...

DDanteKennedy replied to the thread Need study guidance/roadmap for Quantum Physics.I'm just starting to learn the basics of integral. I can't say that I've mastered differentiation but I can do it

How much mathematics do you know? You won't get very far with quantum physics / mechanics without a good knowledge of calculus...
