Like.
My understanding of natural units is that these "...systems simplify the form of each equation, [though] it is still necessary to keep... -
flippiefanus replied to the thread High School What Medium Does Light Travel Through in Space?.Even if a dimension parameter such as the speed of light is numerically equal to 1 in a specific set of units one should strictly...

flippiefanus replied to the thread Graduate Numerical implementation of creation and annhilation operators in the SSH model.The ladder operators (annihilation and creation operators) do not individually represent physical processes. Therefore, it would not...

flippiefanus replied to the thread Undergrad Are classical optics and quantum mechanics double slit experiments fundamentally the same?.The original work of Max Planck already gave us some understanding of what happens in the material source: every interaction...

flippiefanus reacted to aletheia's post in the thread Undergrad Are classical optics and quantum mechanics double slit experiments fundamentally the same? with Like.
I don’t think so. That response wasn’t even about the content of this nice thread — that was a response from the (well) deleted comment...

flippiefanus replied to the thread Undergrad Are classical optics and quantum mechanics double slit experiments fundamentally the same?.Most experimental sources would produce states that would be affected by slits in a way that can be determined by the detector system...

flippiefanus replied to the thread Undergrad Are classical optics and quantum mechanics double slit experiments fundamentally the same?.For what it is worth, there does exist ways to prepare single photon states using heralding, in which case the emission of the photon...

flippiefanus replied to the thread Graduate Position vs momentum measurement.In a physical experiment, one can never measure all possible positions or all possible momenta. It is simply not physically possible...

flippiefanus replied to the thread Undergrad Are classical optics and quantum mechanics double slit experiments fundamentally the same?.Physics is a science, which means that it follows the scientific method. It involves coming up with a theory, using it to make...

flippiefanus reacted to Paul Colby's post in the thread Undergrad Are classical optics and quantum mechanics double slit experiments fundamentally the same? with Like.
Actually, I would say your statement is filled with notions that are incorrect. A double slit interference pattern happens independent...

flippiefanus replied to the thread Graduate Time evolution of a detected particle.I think the missing ingredient is the quantum Zeno effect. In the type of measurement represented in reply #3, the particle is measured...

flippiefanus reacted to Nugatory's post in the thread Graduate Time evolution of a detected particle with Like.
Not quite. We need to consider the resolution of our position-measuring apparatus. That resolution is not infinite, so the result of a...

flippiefanus reacted to QuarkyMeson's post in the thread Graduate Time evolution of a detected particle with Like.
The problem again is that this is not a normalized momentum probability distribution, its integral over p diverges. So you can't...

flippiefanus reacted to QuarkyMeson's post in the thread Graduate Time evolution of a detected particle with Like.
An exact position eigenstate is a generalized, non-normalizable state; i.e., not a physically preparable one. Its divergent momentum...

flippiefanus reacted to renormalize's post in the thread Graduate Time evolution of a detected particle with Like.
While that's true if you insist on zero uncertainty in location, you may instead use a medium like photographic film to continuously...
