I got confused when in my book they went from one form of schrodinger equation to another. It doesn't make much sense to me algebraically, probably i have some lacks in complex numbers. Here are the equations:

In the second one I think it's implied that above two equations give third and I am not sure how.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
The last equation of the second picture is the same as the equation in the other picture, just multiplied by ##\frac{-i}{\hbar}## (note that -i * i = 1)
 
Thanks I completely forgot about it haha
 
I read Hanbury Brown and Twiss's experiment is using one beam but split into two to test their correlation. It said the traditional correlation test were using two beams........ This confused me, sorry. All the correlation tests I learnt such as Stern-Gerlash are using one beam? (Sorry if I am wrong) I was also told traditional interferometers are concerning about amplitude but Hanbury Brown and Twiss were concerning about intensity? Isn't the square of amplitude is the intensity? Please...
I am not sure if this belongs in the biology section, but it appears more of a quantum physics question. Mike Wiest, Associate Professor of Neuroscience at Wellesley College in the US. In 2024 he published the results of an experiment on anaesthesia which purported to point to a role of quantum processes in consciousness; here is a popular exposition: https://neurosciencenews.com/quantum-process-consciousness-27624/ As my expertise in neuroscience doesn't reach up to an ant's ear...
