Hidden Variables in Quantum Mechanics and Bell’s Rebuttal
Hidden Variables in Quantum Mechanics The Hidden Variables section in Ballentine's Statistical Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics examines the possibility of supplementing quantum mechanics with additional parameters (hidden variables) that determine…
Joint Probability Distributions in Ballentine’s Statistical Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics
Joint Probability Distributions in Quantum Mechanics Key Points: 1. Marginal Distributions Must Agree with Quantum Theory The joint probability distribution must reproduce the standard quantum probability distributions when integrated over…
Bells’ Theorem and Thermodynamics
Bell’s Theorem and Its Relation to Thermodynamics 1. Fundamental Differences Bell's Theorem: Demonstrates that no local hidden variable theory can fully explain quantum correlations observed in entangled systems. It is…
What replaces wave analytic continuity in the Matrix Mechanics picture?
In the schrodinger wave formulation of quantum mechanics, analytic continuity of the wave function plays an important part. What replaces analytic continuity when one switches to the Matrix formulation of…
Experimental Quantum Mechanics – wave versus matrix mechanics
The Two Pictures of Quantum Mechanics The wave picture and the matrix All the Useful Math Analytic continuation of wave funtions, analytic functions - all these conceptes developed over…
Is everything in our brain also 1s and 0s
When we 'process' an image or a sound, is that ultimately composed of 1s and 0s like an ordinary classical computer? Or is there a broader based representation of images?
Amplitude and Energy in a Schrodinger Wave
Typically, for any wave, the AMPLITUDE of the wave is related to it's energy content. The Schrodinger Wave ISN'T REAL Since the Schrodinger wave is simply an informational wave, how…
Entanglement – Multiple Particles vs.. Multiple Measurements on same set of particles
Can you perform multiple measurements on same set of particles? One cannot perform multiple measurements on the same set of particles, since the first experiment puts the particles in their…
