I'm currently looking at the following set of notes and am confused at equation (1.15) where they discuss the Bogoliubov quasiparticle for the edge states. I understand up to equation (1.14), where they have solved for the edge state of the first-quantized Hamiltonian. What I don't understand is how they derived the field operator in (1.15).

In case people are curious, see the following eqns (1.49) and (1.50) in these notes and references therein. It is a generalized real-space version of what is usually used in k-space.
 

Thread 'Schrödinger equation and classical wave equation'

Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...

Thread 'Is a table levitating possible, even at a minuscule probability?'

I am not sure if this falls under classical physics or quantum physics or somewhere else (so feel free to put it in the right section), but is there any micro state of the universe one can think of which if evolved under the current laws of nature, inevitably results in outcomes such as a table levitating? That example is just a random one I decided to choose but I'm really asking about any event that would seem like a "miracle" to the ordinary person (i.e. any event that doesn't seem to...
