gentzen replied to the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM.My "actual math" rather tells me that "the slits have a finite separation that is small compared to the wavelength of the momentum...
-
gentzen replied to the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM.We all agree that the plastic is not at the slits, but at the screen. So in this scenario, any "supposed" measurement of the position at...
-
gentzen replied to the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM.No, retrodiction is neither bound by uncertainty relations (think about the EPR paper), nor does it necessarily destroy interference. A...

gentzen reacted to Matterwave's post in the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM with
Like.
Note that, at least to my knowledge, there is no claim that universes are created only that it branches in MWI. Why is branching... -
gentzen reacted to Morbert's post in the thread Graduate What is decoherence in consistent histories? with Like.
Griffiths CH is the most explicitly realist version of CH among the developers of the formalism. His writings on it are also the most...

gentzen replied to the thread Seeking clarity on the physical definition of an observer.If you want, you can contact Arnold Neumaier. He recently embraced a research program (basically because TomS triggered discussions...
-
gentzen replied to the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM.My personal opinion is that Tumulka's claim is a mistake. Even so it remains unclear what Tumulka actually wants to claim, I see no way...

gentzen replied to the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM.131. Quantum Theory and Determinism PDF L. Vaidman, Quantum Stud.: Math. Found. 1, 5-38 (2014)1405.4222 The relevant part is...
-
gentzen replied to the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM.No, we don't measure near instantaneous particle positions for arbitrarily evolving quantum systems. And we also don't measure positions...

I didn't mean to derail the conversation with a cheeky reference to the moon lol. But for the record, I am staunchly against the...
-
gentzen replied to the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM.What Tumulka implicitly claims by writing "any time" is that you can have a system evolving normally, and you can decide a specific time...

gentzen reacted to PeroK's post in the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM with Like.
The idea that things do not exist if not observed is one of the greatest misunderstandings of QM. The Moon exists continuously, but...

gentzen reacted to Demystifier's post in the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM with Like.
Bohmian mechanics (BM) is a hidden variable theory in the following senses: (1) It claims that something observable (the particle...
-
gentzen replied to the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM.Different MWI proponents interpret it in different ways, and have different motivations and goals. A perspective which is "easy to...

gentzen replied to the thread Undergrad Particle vs Wave Interpretations of QM.Is it really easy to understand? What do you think of the following quote from Tumulka's book “Foundations of Quantum Mechanics”? My...
