Sup /sci/. I have a final exam in quantum mechanics tomorrow morning. Ask me anything.

>> No.1133857

explain atom totality theory

Compare the merits of the pilot-wave and many-worlds interpretations.

OP, you alive?

That the universe is actually a very large atom. The galaxies are actually "dots" of the electron dot cloud of this atom. Not that anyone actually believes this.

If that's you OP. you did a good service for me, kind sir.

Pilot wave, as a hidden variable theory, postulates that there are hidden variables unknown to us that prove that observations of quantum mechanical models are deterministic. This theory also has nonlocality, which means information can travel faster than light, Einstein's so called "spooky action at a distance". Many-world, on the other hand, has locality, and serves to resolve several paradoxes, such as EPR and Schrodinger's cat.

I'm thinking of taking up a study in Quantam when i finish school. what can you tell me about it op?

It's not for the faint of heart. If you never had higher level physics training before, as well as higher level math including linear algebra, then this class is not for you.

>> No.1134052

>>1133963
But isn't the evolution of the Schrodinger-picture state vector already nonlocal? Looking at it in a position basis, different branches of the wavefunction only interfere if all of the disparate particles arrive at the same position in both branches.

The more serious concern is how one calculates the probability of an observation in a framework where everything happens.

Does quantum entanglement allow information to be transmitted faster than the speed of light? If not, what applications does it have?

>> No.1134166

>Ask me anything

Do you have an exam in quantum mechanics tomorrow?

>> No.1134294

>>1134064
As far as we can tell, yes, information is able to travel faster than light. Then again, perhaps it doesn't have to "travel", which would make sense because quantum entanglement is supposed to be simultaneous.

Is there any classical analog for my dick in your mother?

Quantum entanglement doesn't send information, bro.

Indeed... it's a pity it's so complicated, but it was simpler it'd become the new "perpetual motion" of the wingnut world. People failing to understand it at all is better than people misunderstanding it.

How do you know that Schrödinger's cat really was a cat and not just a miniature tiger??????
