In quantum mechanics, time independent Schrodinger equation gives dynamics of system.
How do one claim that this equation is evolution of a system? Since dynamics need time dependency. How do one explain this discrepancy?
Thanks in well advance...

It's actually the time dependent SE that gives the dynamics. It just turns out that solving the time dependent SE is accomplished by first solving the time independent version, and then the associated time dependence that comes from the time dependent version is rather trivial to attach to the eigenstates of the time independent version.
 

Thread 'Prof Mike Wiest's proposed link between quantum and consciousness'

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...

Thread 'Is It Known For Sure Infinites In QFT Are Caused Using a Continuum?'

I am reading WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians. The author states (2.4 Finite versus Continuous Models) that the use of continuity causes the infinities in QFT: 'Mathematicians are trained to think of physical space as R3. But our continuous model of physical space as R3 is of course an idealization, both at the scale of the very large and at the scale of the very small. This idealization has proved to be very powerful, but in the case of Quantum...
