... If you read ten pages of an ordinary hundred-page book, you learn about 10% of the content of the book. But if you read ten pages of a “typical” hundred-page quantum book, you learn almost nothing about the content of the book. That's because nearly all the information in a quantum book is encoded i ...

Lecture 3: The Wave Function
... because when one of the component wavefunctions exhibits a peak, the other component wavefunction is zero, so their product is zero at all positions. Similarly, ψ6 = ψ3 + ψ4 is a superposition of two states of definite momentum. It cannot be said that a particle in this state has one or the other mom ...

NEWTON`S SECOND LAW FROM QUANTUM PHYSICS
... the normal hydrogen atom (the ground state) does not obey Newton’s Second Law. That statement is in correspondence with the fact that the ground state wave function is spread out all around the nucleus. This would appear to be a far cry from a classical picture where the electron would have to be a ...
