Like.
Of course, I meant "microscopic particle such as electron". Thanks for noting the typo! The trace we see in the bubble chamber is an... -

Is the Moon itself the same thing as its wave function? If not, then what exactly the Moon is? Can the Moon itself be described by a...

Bohmian mechanics (BM) is a hidden variable theory in the following senses: (1) It claims that something observable (the particle...

Except that it isn't. Of course, with a field picture in mind, it is natural and intuitive that it travels through both slits at once...

Sambuco replied to the thread Graduate How valid is the indivisible interpretation of quantum mechanics?.The issue is that the "true value" of the configuration of a subsystem plays no role, even in the temporal evolution of the same...

Hobson is wrong. QFT does not remove the need for quantum interpretations. And of course, Feynman was one of the developers of QFT, he...

Sambuco replied to the thread Graduate How valid is the indivisible interpretation of quantum mechanics?.I would like to participate in the discussion, as I have an objection to Barandes' formulation (we already talked a little about that in...

Sambuco replied to the thread Seeking clarity on the physical definition of an observer.I believe it's possible to think of QFT as a tool that, given information about the occurrence of a certain past event, allows us to...

Sambuco replied to the thread Seeking clarity on the physical definition of an observer.It is worth noting that this statement about wave function collapse is interpretation-dependent. In fact, this is true only for some...

Haha.
Is that like the difference between all dead and mostly dead? -

Quantum fields aren't waves, they're operators. So I don't think "fields as fundamental" is the same thing as "wave-realist".

For those interested in how Schrodinger originally derived his famous equation and why it eventually gave the correct answer (after some...
