What is complex quantum mechanics?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Complex quantum mechanics is a branch of quantum mechanics that utilizes complex Hilbert spaces and quaternion structures to describe quantum systems. It is essential for understanding phenomena that cannot be adequately explained by classical mechanics. The discussion highlights the necessity of complex quantum mechanics in advancing theoretical physics and its applications in various fields.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum mechanics principles
  • Familiarity with Hilbert spaces
  • Knowledge of quaternion mathematics
  • Basic grasp of theoretical physics concepts

Can anyone tell me what is complex quantum mechanics and why we need it? I think we don't need creature complex qm because qm uses complex Hilbert space and quaternion structers.
