gentzen reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread A question about quantum entanglement with
Agree.
No, that's not what he said. He said they are a two-particle excitation of a quantum field. That's not the same as a one-particle... -

Like.
Art Hobson's "Fields and Their Quanta: Making Sense of Quantum Foundations" and his previous work, going back decades, has always seemed... -
gentzen reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Undergrad How can light be a wave and particle at the same time? with
Like.
No, they're not... Yes, but a quantum field is not a wave. It's a quantum field. Your next sentence contradicts this: Yes, and it's... -
gentzen replied to the thread Undergrad Application of the Schrödinger Equation in Modeling the Hydrogen Atom.Try to become familiar with differential equations first. Then try to become familiar with Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors of symmetric...

gentzen reacted to bhobba's post in the thread Is the quantum wave function a real object or a mathematical tool? with
Like.
It isn't, and there are errors that the more advanced will see as strictly speaking wrong (e.g., ordinary QM is the classical limit of... -
gentzen replied to the thread Is the quantum wave function a real object or a mathematical tool?.Art Hobson certainly makes strong claims: Whether his evidence is strong enough to back those claims might be a topic for another...

gentzen replied to the thread High School Electron absorbs photon, but what happens to the photon?.I guess you both are making the third step before the first. If you are in a high energy particle physics context and study an effect...

gentzen replied to the thread Graduate How valid is the indivisible interpretation of quantum mechanics?.Lack of "causal power" means something slightly different than lack of causality. Lack of "causal power" occurs for example if...
