Demystifying quantum mechanics? – a tale of tropes

March 23, 2024December 30, 2024 John Healy4 Comments

This post is about my ongoing physics research project. To tell a story (perhaps literally) which conceptually unpacks quantum field theory. That is, to develop a framework which: visualizes Wilczek’s Grid (discussed in other posts) and demystifies the historical tropes of quantum mechanics.
