If the energy is negative wouldn't that mean there's still a non-vanishing probability that the well will fluctuate around the ground state? Then again it would be impossible to even get a probability right?
Another good example I just posted in another thread is the Aharonov-Bohm effect. That time is an operator, or you believe it's a hidden variable. Ballentine goes over this in his book, Quantum Mechanics: A Modern Development by Leslie E. Ballentine.
The link dmtr posted by just reading the beginning made me realize that time must be an operator for the delyaed choice quantum eraser to be possible. I looked at John von's memory space and that just clicked.
Or how about Wigner's friend, Eugene? Just kidding Wigner Eugene Wigner irony :lol:
Time is linked to energy on QM though, but that is if you assign any credibility to the "weak" uncertainty of time and energy and since the relation is non-commutative and yields a constant it must be an operator. How else could information of correlated spins between two “particles” be...
Wow this is old and I don't really know how a came across it but here's the answer. The gravity of a planet 14x's the mass of the Earth overwhelms the electrostatic repulsion that comprise rock thus its impossible to have a rocky planet 14x's the mass of the earth.
The perbative effects of the magnetic field would reduce the state vector I think. I've been wondering if the postulate could just be done away with by saying the operator itself is observable, but I'm not to sure whether this is correct? It seems to me that the operator has all the properties...
Once again thanks I read those I've got to say this is what I always thought and have to say I largely agree with the condensed matter physicists. This one I esp liked made think.

Woops at the same time I should introduce myself. I've been studing QM independently for about 10 years and have collected about 4K worth in books. I consider my self fairly versed on the subject, and can tell y'all definately are. I here both to learn and to possibly expand some of y'alls views...
I'm having a very time finding any techinal papers on Bob's "theory" of emergence. I liken it to a interpretational aspect of QM and am very interested to find more on the subject. Trying to find it on the net at least for me is next to impossible. Could anyone help me out here please? Thanks in...
I can't for some reason at the time to get ballentines PDF's to up load, but I do have his book Quantum Mechanics: A Modern Development and the watched pots in it. His line of reasonong was if measurements are made so finely spaced as to make the measurements a continuous specturm that the...
