Peter Morgan's latest activity

There is a Q&A at the end, starting at 49:19, which contains stuff not contained in that transcript. Below, I collected how I tried to...

On May 18th, I presented a Colloquium for the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences at North South University, Dhaka, Bangladesh...

This is phrased rather confusingly. What you mean is that non-relativistic QM is wrong. But I don't think the OP means to restrict...

Regarding the quote from the conclusion of G. Beck's paper "How to be an orthodox quantum mechanic" (https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.20597)...

Thank you. I didn't have a copy of Ballentine available yesterday. I associate a focus on preparation as distinct from measurement...

In his textbook, he gives basically the same description you quoted, but he also says that an equivalent way of looking at the quantum...

Apologies, I hadn't understood you to be espousing a minimal statistical Interpretation different from that of Ballentine. What you...

I had only seen v1 of that, so thank you for the push.

I think the distinction is that I see a dataset where you see an ensemble of particles. It would be only a small issue if there were...

But his book is nearly as far as possible from the consensus textbook orthodoxy; see the last paragraph of p.20 in Beck's paper!

Wow, I had read Ballentine's orthodoxity measure as 0.88, but actually it is -0.88. Which makes total sense to me.

Although well thought of by many, including me, it is not an orthodox approach. That said, it is the book I recommend studying...

Certainly QFT as we have it is effective to an extraordinary degree and I have no problem with discussing asymptotic states, but I think...

If you compute the scattering between two incoming particles, or the lifetime of some excited state, then you are looking at a simple...

I would add 'Algebraic QM', which can be found in textbook form in https://arxiv.org/abs/1211.5627, by François David, (published as...
