Like.
Sure. i) For a Spin 1/2 particle, say an electron, we have: spin-x, spin-y, and spin z. All 3 are independent degrees of freedom... -
Matterwave reacted to bhobba's post in the thread Studying What math and physics do I need to learn before studying quantum mechanics? with Like.
Without a doubt, it should not be studied until you have completed the suggested reading list, especially Townsend's A Modern Approach...

Matterwave replied to the thread Graduate Entanglement swapping and Bohmian mechanics.Could you explain, for my understanding, how your degree of freedom count goes? What are you counting as a degree of freedom and what do...

Matterwave replied to the thread Studying What math and physics do I need to learn before studying quantum mechanics?.Note that this is a rather advanced QM book aimed more towards advanced undergrads and grad students. It throws you into the deep end...

Matterwave reacted to Nugatory's post in the thread Undergrad Was Richard Feynman's explanation of the twin paradox wrong? with Like.
If that’s what you’ve taken away from this forum we have done something very wrong…. Especially because we’ve already pointed you at...

Matterwave reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Graduate Entanglement swapping and Bohmian mechanics with Like.
Yep. He also says that when photons 2 and 3 are measured in the Bell basis via a BSM, they are projected onto one Bell state. Not four...

Matterwave reacted to Morbert's post in the thread Graduate Entanglement swapping and Bohmian mechanics with
Wow.
A basic level of understanding of quantum theory is needed for any kind of advancement of the discussion. Fundamentally misunderstanding... -
Matterwave reacted to aletheia's post in the thread Undergrad Spatial separation of entangled particles implies physical separability? with Like.
Yes, I did and it was insightful. Even though I might not have been able to express me as clearly as I expected, your help along with...

Matterwave reacted to WeiyangAbkommen's post in the thread High School High School Hypothesis: Black Holes and White Holes as Cosmic Bridges with Like.
Thanks for the clarification on the Kruskal-Szekeres coordinates! I wasn't aware of that specific mathematical connection before...

Matterwave replied to the thread Undergrad Spatial separation of entangled particles implies physical separability?.The figure is just a figure. It doesn't make any assumptions. It just shows you what the experiment is and what happens. I'm unclear on...

Matterwave reacted to Bandersnatch's post in the thread High School Supernova step of core collapse with
Love.
As was suggested above, these requirements are somewhat contradictory. But I'll suggest something nonetheless. Go to Open Library, and... -
Matterwave reacted to GIASAL's post in the thread High School Supernova step of core collapse with Like.
Okay. I'll calmly check what I've studied and point out the contradictions. Thanks.

Matterwave reacted to Demystifier's post in the thread Graduate Entanglement swapping and Bohmian mechanics with Like.
This, in essence, is very simple. Consider a product state $$|\psi\rangle = |A\rangle |B\rangle$$ Any state can be written as a...
