That was not the idea behind my comment and the reference to Schrödinger's text. See my previous post. As I said, this depends on the... -
WWernerQH replied to the thread Undergrad One does not “prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics.Exactly. Since charge is conserved, most physicists would say that an electron must have continuous existence. But this need not be...

I would like to add that the idea that a quantum object exists at all times and possesses objective properties is nothing more than a... -
WWernerQH replied to the thread Undergrad One does not “prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics.Do you think that the "basic principles" of quantum theory have reached their final form? I don't. Ballentine's two postulates depend...

WWernerQH replied to the thread Undergrad One does not “prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics.What are the "basic principles" of Quantum Mechanics? In mathematics proofs start from axioms, which were once thought to be...

WWernerQH replied to the thread Undergrad Importance of Hanbury Brown and Twiss experiment.I just copied the wikipedia reference, and it seems to point to a nature paper with that title. Unfortunately it's behind a paywall...
