In summary, Shankar's PQM Equations are a set of mathematical equations used to explain the quantum mechanics of particles and their interactions. Example 1.8.6 is significant in disproving these equations as it showcases a scenario where they fail to accurately predict particle behavior. This contradiction challenges our understanding of quantum mechanics and highlights the need for further research. Other examples, such as the Stern-Gerlach experiment and the double-slit experiment, also disprove Shankar's PQM Equations and highlight the need for alternative theories.

shankar "PQM" is wrong?

Shankar Principles of Quantum mechanics Pag 46: Example 1.8.6

The movement equations are in my opinion wrong.

Consider the following link for the same equations

What's the difference ? Comparing quicly, it appears less typos in Shankar as well as a more systematic treatment, but they seem to start and end with the same.
 

1. What are Shankar's PQM Equations?

Shankar's PQM Equations are a set of mathematical equations developed by physicist Ramamurti Shankar to explain the quantum mechanics of particles and their interactions.

2. Why is Example 1.8.6 important in disproving Shankar's PQM Equations?

Example 1.8.6 is important because it showcases a scenario where Shankar's PQM Equations fail to accurately predict the behavior of particles, thus calling into question their validity and accuracy.

3. How does Example 1.8.6 disprove Shankar's PQM Equations?

In Example 1.8.6, Shankar's PQM Equations predict that two particles with opposite spins will have no interaction or correlation, but experimental evidence shows that they do have a correlation. This contradiction disproves the accuracy of Shankar's PQM Equations.

4. What is the significance of disproving Shankar's PQM Equations?

Disproving Shankar's PQM Equations challenges our understanding of quantum mechanics and highlights the need for further research and development in this field. It also opens up possibilities for alternative theories and explanations.

5. Are there other examples that disprove Shankar's PQM Equations?

Yes, there are several other examples that have been proposed to disprove Shankar's PQM Equations. These include the Stern-Gerlach experiment, the double-slit experiment, and the Aharonov-Bohm effect. These examples all showcase scenarios where Shankar's PQM Equations fail to accurately predict the behavior of particles.
