Apr 14, 2020 #3 jk22 731 24 Indeed I hesitated to put it in the math section. Or : does it happen to have something like : ##e^{i\int K(\Psi(s),s)ds}\Psi(x)## ? So that the phase on a function of all the points, or the shape of the wavefunction ? But anyhow I would think it's unhandlable and very heavy mathematically. Last edited: Apr 14, 2020
