PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Are classical optics and quantum mechanics double slit experiments fundamentally the same?.Please stop posting these kinds of statements. We all know what subforum we're in. What you do as a physician is irrelevant here... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad High-Energy Pb-Emulsion Collisions at CERN and x17.You do realize that people post here for free on their own time, right? What you're asking for is something physicists in the relevant... -

S-G Hamiltonian is proportional to Sz. [H,Sz]=0. Sz is conserved,I.e.,we get the same result in measurement performed in any future... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread High School What if we could use a Black Hole as starship?.The OP question has been addressed. Thread closed. -
PeterDonis replied to the thread Graduate Is the deformation in Eq. 56 really innocuous?.Which means this... ...is exactly what we should expect since we have changed the observables. So I don't understand why you think this... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread Graduate Is the deformation in Eq. 56 really innocuous?.I don't think it's intended to be. I think, as @Matterwave has said, that it's intended to capture varying the relative angles of the... -

I guess I don't understand your concern because to me, the whole point of changing detector settings is to change the (quantum)... -

I have not read through the entire paper and just glanced around the relevant sections so take this with a grain of salt. My... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread Graduate Measurement and expectation value.It does if the state in between is not an eigenstate of the Hamiltonian. Then the state will change by time evolution in between the... -

2 points. 1. You have to consider my answer in light of my longer explanation above. 2. That's not what the Ehrenfest theorem says... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Radiation in classical and quantum mechanics.There is no "classical reason" vs. "quantum reason". You are confusing models with reality. Reality is just radiation. The classical... -

Which is why the classical view is wrong. -
PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Are classical optics and quantum mechanics double slit experiments fundamentally the same?.Fair enough. -
PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Are classical optics and quantum mechanics double slit experiments fundamentally the same?.But classical optics does not apply to electrons. It only applies to light. -
PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Are classical optics and quantum mechanics double slit experiments fundamentally the same?.Except where it doesn't, as I said in post #22. And in addition to that, there's this: This is simply false for QM, so I don't know why...
