"The heart of quantum mechanics lies in the results of the double-slit experiment." This is a paraphrase of a quote by Feynman. http://www4.ncsu.edu/unity/lockers/users/f/felder/public/kenny/papers/quantum.html" might help explain why (it's a bit long, but does a decent job of explaining...

Thanks for the help, lbrits! I figured the complex conjugate would involve making negative all the imaginary parts of the transform, but it seemed like doing the ol' FOIL method when multiplying Psi(x) and Psi*(x) would result in a number that would generally be complex, not the real number...

Hello All, As I understand it, the wavefunction Psi(x) can be written as a sum of all the particle's momentum basis states (which is the Fourier transform of Psi(x)). I was woundering if the wavefunction's complex conjugate Psi*(x) can be written out in terms of momentum basis states, similar...
