gentzen replied to the thread Is the quantum wave function a real object or a mathematical tool?.Independent of whether the wave function is real, it is certainly not an object. Just like an electric field is not an object either...

Like.
When you say a real obejct, what do yo mean by that? -

What is yours?

gentzen reacted to renormalize's post in the thread Undergrad Why is a Gaussian function used to represent a wave packet? with Like.
Yes, the spreading of single-atom wave packets has been observed experimentally and agrees with theory: In-situ Imaging of a Single-Atom...

gentzen reacted to LarryS's post in the thread Undergrad Why is a Gaussian function used to represent a wave packet? with Like.
I've read that in standard, one-particle (non-relativistic) Quantum Mechanics, physicists often choose a gaussian function to represent...

gentzen reacted to Josiah's post in the thread High School Gravitons/Gravity passing through objects with Like.
Sorry about my ignorance, but what does a particle with spin 2 mean?

gentzen reacted to haushofer's post in the thread Undergrad Ramsauer and Townsend effect: history and explanation with Like.
Dear all, I'm writing an article about the didactics of teaching quantum physics, and in particular the phenomenon of resonant...

gentzen reacted to martinbn's post in the thread Graduate Sidney Coleman's opinion on interpretation in his Dirac lecture with Like.
I agree, I don't see anything in chapter 8 of Albert's book that corresponds to Coleman's argument. So I suppose it is due to Coleman...

gentzen replied to the thread Graduate Sidney Coleman's opinion on interpretation in his Dirac lecture.I finished browsing Albert's "Quantum Mechanics and Experience" book, and studying its last chapter "8. Self-Measurement", where his...

gentzen reacted to iste's post in the thread Graduate Understanding Barandes' microscopic theory of causality with Like.
It is a sufficient condition (for possibly discontinuous trajectories) but you can't get this out of the thoery. You have to import it...

gentzen reacted to iste's post in the thread Graduate Understanding Barandes' microscopic theory of causality with Like.
Sure, but the supposed philosopical contribution of the indivisible approach is compromised because you can't say it implies any novel...
-
gentzen replied to the thread Graduate Understanding Barandes' microscopic theory of causality.iste is talking about Barandes' formalism. In your example, Barandes talks about the normal Hilbert space formalism of QM. This doesn't...

gentzen replied to the thread Graduate Understanding Barandes' microscopic theory of causality.I guess, the biggest contribution of Barandes' "interpretation" is that it shows just how difficult it is to convincingly "disprove" an...

gentzen reacted to iste's post in the thread Graduate Understanding Barandes' microscopic theory of causality with Like.
I disagree. I think its throughout his lectures; interviews; and papers, his interpretation and the formalism are put in one box and a...
