PeroK reacted to Demystifier's post in the thread I Question about discussions around quantum interpretations with
Informative.
I have addressed this in post #25. In item 1. I gave a reference where your question is answered in more detail and in item 3. I gave an... -
PeroK replied to the thread I Question about discussions around quantum interpretations.I'm not saying it's impossible. But, if the state of the detector is irrelevant, then the Born rule makes sense. Only the state of the... -
PeroK replied to the thread I Question about discussions around quantum interpretations.I understand your point. Let's assume you are correct. The detector has trillions of possible states, but these neatly divide into two... -
PeroK replied to the thread I Question about discussions around quantum interpretations.To change the subject slightly. I remember learning about neutrino oscillations and thinking what a beautiful, simple model. The... -
PeroK replied to the thread I Question about discussions around quantum interpretations.It's true, those ideas complicate the picture. But, even in that case, the probabilities can be understood through the evolution of the... -
PeroK reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread I Question about discussions around quantum interpretations with
Informative.
You can--by creating an environment where the quantum states of the decay products are already occupied, or partially occupied. (And for... -
PeroK replied to the thread I Question about discussions around quantum interpretations.The difference is that we do know everything about the state of the atom and its decay rate. And that is sufficient to explain the... -
PeroK replied to the thread I Question about discussions around quantum interpretations.The precise details of the uncertainty are encoded in the atomic state. In the weighing/probability amplitude associated with the decay... -
PeroK reacted to Demystifier's post in the thread I Question about discussions around quantum interpretations with
Skeptical.
If you agree that isolated atom evolves deterministically, then non-determinism must be associated with interaction with the... -
PeroK replied to the thread I Question about discussions around quantum interpretations.PS we could illustrate the point by borrowing Schrodinger's cat. After each run of the experiment, the cat is either alive or dead... -
PeroK replied to the thread I Question about discussions around quantum interpretations.Take a number of radioactive atoms as an example. If each atom is identical, then they should all decay at the same time - if the decay... -
PeroK reacted to ojitojuntos's post in the thread I Question about discussions around quantum interpretations with
Like.
Thanks a lot for replying! I believe that the fact thanQM hasn’t provided a satisfactory explanation (in the sense that it is... -
PeroK reacted to Demystifier's post in the thread Book recommendation after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics with
Like.
Maybe Atkinson and Johnson, Exercises in Quantum Field Theory. It's like a textbook written completely in the form of completely solved... -
PeroK reacted to planck999's post in the thread Book recommendation after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics with
Wow.
TL;DR Summary: Book after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics I am doing a comprehensive reading of sakurai and I have solved every problem... -
PeroK replied to the thread A Crisis in France -- Bottled water may not be what it's advertised to be.Or, you make rubbish beer, and tell people it's the best.
