    You can learn quantum mechanics with brilliant if you like brilliant.org/upandatom/
    Also, when I was 10 I asked my older brother to teach me to skateboard. The first thing he tried to teach me was to start moving from a stationary position. He had me stand on the back of the board with one foot so it tilted upwards, and then slam my other foot down at the front of the board and apparently that was meant to make it move forward. So on my first try I slammed my foot down too hard, the board slid out from under me as I was propelled forward and my face hit the hard pavement. I never skated again.

      Interesting... sorry to hear about the face plant! But somehow I'm connecting it to the final bit of this blog post I just read yesterday: blog.interviewing.io/we-built-voice-modulation-to-mask-gender-in-technical-interviews-heres-what-happened/ ... relevant???
      Also, I just want to let you know that I find the brilliant.org plugs jarring, and wish they either weren't there, or were more subtle, or something. I don't expect a change necessarily, just... thought I'd share one viewer's take. I pay for the ad-free version of TH-cam, and the brilliant stuff feels like advertising... which I presume it is? :) ... and perhaps you genuinely want to support what they're doing, and that's fine, just... I dunno, letting you know. :)

      The energy is only “quantized” because we are trying to measure it in a particular point in time.

When I don't understand them I come back later, without pressure. Particle physics or General Relativity are indeed somewhat hard like pure mathematics.

      I'm bad at math. I disagree that the Shrodinger Equation describes real meaning. It can't be performed. Everyone I don't see is really somewhere, and accidents aren't happening. In the same way a "quantum particle" must really have a position and a velocity, even if you can't see it. Perhaps every "quantum particle" has a corresponding "Satan square" which must have a position and velocity because it is a real object. It collapses into a Satan square only in your imagination.

      @L. Kärkkäinen Well, that honestly is not a proper derivation of the Schrödinger equation. It assumes the time dependent wave function has a form as \Psi(x,t)=e^{i(kx-\omega t)} (This is latex code, plug it into an interpreter to more clearly see what I mean).
      This is called an ansatz and it works in order to derive an equation. However, there is no proper, real and strict mathematical proof of the Schrödinger Equation.
      Schrödinger simply postulated the equation. And so far it works, me as a third year nuclear physics student use it every other week to compute wave functions in the shell model of a nucleus. And it works and can be experimentally shown to work. But there is no proof. Pure mathematicians despise us physicists for using it since they always require proofs haha

      This girl is stupid beyond belief. Put a stand alone recorder or heart sensor monitor in the box with the cat. Play it back after you have opened it to do a retroactive observation. You will witness the exact moment the cat did or didn’t die before you opened the box. Your consciousness has nothing to do with it, it’s simply the observational tool interacting with the observed scene. Pretty dumb to think human consciousness has anything to do with it. What idiots.

    When I was an undergraduate at Bristol in the early 1970s they thought it would be a good idea for physics and chemistry students to take all the first year courses from both departments. As a consequence we got quantum mechanics from the physicists at 9am and quantum mechanics from the chemists at 10am. Unfortunately the departments clearly never talked to one another and the physicists taught the time-dependent form while the chemists taught the time-independent form with neither of them acknowledging the existence of the other form!. Neither side thought it was a good idea to show that Newtonian mechanics can also be written in the Hamiltonian formalism (which I think should be obligatory to save the inevitable confusion of presenting a new physical concept in a new mathematical wrapper at the same time).
    Anyway, I guess it did me an indirect favour - on graduation I decided to do research in an area where quantum mechanics wasn't involved and I chose cloud microphysics - perhaps belatedly one of the hottest topics of our time (a back-water, however, in the 1970s)

    • @david203
      @david203 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      When the Schrödinger equation is presented in just the right way (the Wigner transform), you can see clearly how it moves from describing QM states in very small isolated systems to describing Newtonian mechanics in large systems immersed in an environment with influences such as temperature and viscosity. This transition to classical mechanics can also be seen by the density matrix transitioning from having off-diagonal elements (the pure quantum states) to being a diagonal matrix (in the classical case).

      @seanehle8323 6 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      Yes. That's exactly what it means. In the real world, there is no way to create an infinite potential capable of forcing the wave function to 0 at the boundaries of the box (much less the entire universe outside the box, which is what the problem sets up). What's amazing is that despite the fact that this example is non-physical, it can be used to produce excellent approximations of real experiments.

      Yeah well ! according to Shroedinger your electron could be located ANYWHERE in the universe - and it would still belong to the atom to which it is said to belong.
      It gives a new meaning to belonging, hey ?
      When you hold an object in your hand - do not think that all of this object is in your hand - it is scattered all over the universe and can still be IN YOUR HAND.
      How's that for a mystic ? but do not accuse scientists to be mystics - they wrongly believe they have ended mysticism, when in fact they have merely hijacked it.

    Thank you for the excellent explanation. What I think makes the Schrodinger Equation difficult for non-physicists is that the metaphor of a cat in a box is confusing. The cat in the box is already an observer of sorts. Even if the animal cannot see in the darkness, that doesn't eliminate other forms of observation, such as feeling, smell, or other sensations. This should be enough complexity for the wave function to collapse.

    So, basically, the Schrödinger equation is a quantum mechanical wave function which describes how electron orbitals combine to form atoms. These experiments helped explain the structure of atoms and molecules.
    These experiments showed that quantum mechanics is indeed correct, and the Schrödinger equation will be used to develop new technologies in many different areas. Applications include how atoms form molecules, which are two or more atoms bonded together. Very important for creating drugs and new materials.
    Also, the Schrödinger equation can be used to describe interactions between electrons and nuclei. In chemistry, quantum mechanics is useful for explaining how electron orbitals are formed in atoms.

    Very well done Jade.
    Without overly extending the explanation as is and thus making it less comprehensible, I'd try to include brief allusions to the following with possibly links to further details:-
    The wave function itself - how and why it's form was chosen, i.e. why is it complex, what's its relation to Euler's identity, why did it need to be wave-like to begin with etc.
    A reminder on what k are w are and what they represent in the wave function.
    A reminder where the de Broglie relation comes from, the matter wavelength relation to momentum and how k fits into that and why.
    A quick work through the Schrödinger equation derivation you gave the briefest snapshot of - it is very good, clear and concise but may overwhelm those new to it, without an explanation of what is being substituted into where and when.
    A justification as to why squaring the wave function yields the probability function of finding the electron at each location.
    EDIT: Just found your What is The Quantum Wave Function, Exactly video, excellent.
