Strong force and superposition

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion centers on the relationship between strong force, superposition, and wave function collapse in quantum mechanics. The original question posits whether subatomic particles in distinct eigenstates, entangled with their superpositions, could form a coherent structure. The consensus is that the strong force does not cease to function at superposition, but the question lacks clarity due to insufficient understanding of quantum field theory. A deeper grasp of these concepts is essential for formulating coherent inquiries in this domain.

PREREQUISITES
  • Quantum field theory fundamentals
  • Understanding of wave function collapse
  • Knowledge of superposition and entanglement
  • Familiarity with the strong force in particle physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Study quantum field theory to clarify concepts related to particle interactions
  • Research wave function collapse and its implications in quantum mechanics
  • Explore the principles of superposition and entanglement in quantum systems
  • Investigate the role of the strong force in maintaining particle cohesion
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, particularly those focusing on quantum mechanics and particle physics, as well as researchers seeking to deepen their understanding of the strong force and quantum states.

I apologize if this question seems like gibberish, Its been annoying me.
I tried to ask this once but i didnt ask it properly.

If there was a complex structure of sub atomic particles, and each sub atomic particle was in its individual space time vector, or eigenstate, and they where each entangled with there superpositions, would they make up the same complex structure?

Also, would strong force keep them bound @ there superposition after wave function collapse do to observation
I can't understand why strong force would cease to function @ the superposition?

Unfortunately, it is gibberish. Part of the problem is that it makes no sense to think of individual particles with distinct and independent states inside of a system as complex as a collection of particles interacting through the strong force.

I doubt that you'll be able to find a satisfactory answer until you've studied enough quantum field theory to pose the question more clearly.
