Does de Broglie wave length apply to composite particles? For example a very low momentum neutron does it have a very large wave length? Or do we think in terms of the three quarks that make up the neutron? The three quarks do not have low momentum they are banging back and forth inside the neutron and so have a shorter de Broglie wave length.

Which way is the right way to think about this?

I too have wondered about this. My quantum mechanics professor used the example that a basketball has a very small wavelength, but if the individual particles that constitute the basketball have much larger wavelengths, well, then what's going on? (What does this mean experimentally?)
 
When you're dealing with a system that has more than one degree of freedom, you have to think in terms of phase space. There's an (x,p) pair for each degree of freedom and a de Broglie wavelength for each. So for a slow neutron there's a center of mass coordinate X and a corresponding momentum P and de Broglie wavelength h/P, while the individual partons that make up the neutron each have their own coordinate xi, momentum pi and wavelength h/pi.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In her YouTube video Bell’s Theorem Experiments on Entangled Photons, Dr. Fugate shows how polarization-entangled photons violate Bell’s inequality. In this Insight, I will use quantum information theory to explain why such entangled photon-polarization qubits violate the version of Bell’s inequality due to John Clauser, Michael Horne, Abner Shimony, and Richard Holt known as the...
I understand that the world of interpretations of quantum mechanics is very complex, as experimental data hasn't completely falsified the main deterministic interpretations (such as Everett), vs non-deterministc ones, however, I read in online sources that Objective Collapse theories are being increasingly challenged. Does this mean that deterministic interpretations are more likely to be true? I always understood that the "collapse" or "measurement problem" was how we phrased the fact that...
