Greeting from Rome!

I am 53 years old and I graduated in physics back in 1990, but I have always worked in the Information Technology area.
I work in the IT staff of the most important Italian newspaper on economics and finance: Il Sole 24 ORE spa https://www.ilsole24ore.com/

After so many years, today for fun, I'm studying again the quantum mechanics, to which I dedicate myself when I have free time.
I am trying to write a simple, intuitive yet sufficiently rigorous synthesis of non-relativistic quantum mechanics (without using the concept of the operator).

I am currently trying to deepen the Heisenberg indeterminacy principle (intrinsic and operational) and the related problem of the wave function collapse.

To solve problems of quantum mechanics, I use symbolic calculation software like Wolfram Mathematica of while for numerical simulations I use programs written in "C" or "Java".

I would like to submit to other people my doubts and simple problems of quantum mechanics that sometimes lead me to apparently contradictory situations, probably due to some interpretative errors.

Welcome to the PF. Looks like an iteresting newspaper to work for! :smile:

When you start threads with such questions, it helps a lot here if you can post links to the reading that you have been doing on the subject. That helps us to see where you are in your learning, and fine tune our answers. Links to peer-reviewed journal articles and mainstream textbooks are preferred. Thanks.
