Undergrad What is the Meaning of the Schrödinger Equation?
how is FTL collapse not a problem? If I am in a place with some probability of observing a particle and you, space-like separated from me, actually observe that particle and instantaneously collapse the wave function, you change the statistics where I am.- iaM wh

Undergrad Isn't the local no-hidden-variable theory inconsistent with standard QM?
You can have a no hidden variable (or even hidden variable)interpretation that denies realism, for instance. Contextual interpretations...if one takes measurement results to be subjective. Also, Many Worlds Interpretation is local.- iaM wh

Undergrad What is the Meaning of the Schrödinger Equation?
Yes, the wavefunction collapsing instantaneously, and therefore transmitting information throughout the universe instantaneously was an idea that Einstein never liked, even before EPR. It blatantly violates his theory of relativity, and the causal link is broken. I'm just wondering from your...- iaM wh

Undergrad What is the Meaning of the Schrödinger Equation?
I would like to discuss the Schrödinger equation in order to get some insight. The equation, as I understand it, is essentially an expression of the conservation of energy. What it says is that ∆Total Energy= ∆ Kinetic Energy + ∆ Potential Energy. In Schrödinger's day, there were various...- iaM wh
