Peter Morgan replied to the thread Undergrad A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics.I had only seen v1 of that, so thank you for the push.

Peter Morgan replied to the thread Undergrad A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics.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... -
Peter Morgan replied to the thread Undergrad A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics.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... -
Peter Morgan replied to the thread Undergrad A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics.I would add 'Algebraic QM', which can be found in textbook form in https://arxiv.org/abs/1211.5627, by François David, (published as...

The "we ignore" part is certainly true. The reasoning why it gets ignored is probably not so much that it is the same as QM, but that... -

Don't worry Ballentine made it to the list. -
Peter Morgan replied to the thread Undergrad A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics.I take the minimal statistical interpretation of QM to be qualitatively different from QFT insofar as there is no idea of a collection...

By the paper cited, we now know much better than we used to know.... -
Peter Morgan reacted to Herman Trivilino's post in the thread Undergrad Is there a bad intuition or bad explanation in quantum entanglement? with
Like.
I can't speak for @Nugatory but my understanding of what he said is not that we shouldn't look, but that until we succeed in finding... -

By proposing a further explanation. Until this happens there is no explanation, just as a book does not exist until someone writes it. -

A while ago @bhobba pointed to an interesting paper by T Padmanabhan: "Obtaining the Non-relativistic Quantum Mechanics from Quantum...
