gentzen replied to the thread I Question about discussions around quantum interpretations.Or maybe, rather don't read it. This book was not written by Richard Feynman, but by Ralph Leighton. This is hinted at by "Adventures of...

Like.
No. That's not how the MWI works. In the MWI, all possible outcomes occur, each in its own branch of the wave function. It's not even... -
gentzen replied to the thread I Schrödinger equation and classical wave equation.It seems to me that what changes is the rate of change of the phase, not the phase itself. I guess the most direct interpretation of...

gentzen replied to the thread I Schrödinger equation and classical wave equation.Are you sure? It is true that you can factorize ##\partial_t^2\phi=c^2\partial_x^2\phi## (1D-WE) into...

gentzen replied to the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics.There is a Q&A at the end, starting at 49:19, which contains stuff not contained in that transcript. Below, I collected how I tried to...

Like.
A multi-photon absorption might happen I think under extreme conditions like a strong laser. -
gentzen replied to the thread I Is there a bad intuition or bad explanation in quantum entanglement?.Yeah, but in physics it typically arises because of probabilities, and how to interpret them.
-
gentzen replied to the thread I Is there a bad intuition or bad explanation in quantum entanglement?.The Dirac equation is beautiful!

gentzen replied to the thread I Is there a bad intuition or bad explanation in quantum entanglement?.The probability of rain today at 13:00 (where I live) is 20%.

This is how Ballentine presents the statistical interpretation--the ensemble is basically the abstract set of all instances of a given... -
gentzen replied to the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics.Why do you think that I see an ensemble of particles? I see an experiment depending on some knobs, that I can repeat as often as I want...
-
gentzen replied to the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics.And another possibility it to try to understand what we are doing, currently. Like the article mentioned in the OP. Or also David...
-
gentzen replied to the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics.That is not the point. You construct issues and complications for the minimal statistical interpretation where I can see none. Somehow...

Although well thought of by many, including me, it is not an orthodox approach. That said, it is the book I recommend studying... -
gentzen replied to the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics.If you compute the scattering between two incoming particles, or the lifetime of some excited state, then you are looking at a simple...
