A new Quanta Magazine article by Philip Ball was so refreshing that I had to pause working on my other blogs and stories, and follow up on my past posts about wavepackets [1]. So, wavepackets and Wilczek’s Grid continue to be the best way that I’ve found to visualize quantum physics. And move beyond the… Continue reading Quantum physics beyond remembrances – decoherence redux
Here’s a possible story which helps demystify quantum field theory. A personal visualization, which stays within the bounds of spacetime and avoids needless paradoxes. There are two key concepts to my sketch: the Grid and a quantum’s tail. This post lays out the second idea, namely, a quantum’s tail.
[Preliminary 11-11-2023] [“Quantum foundations” series] Table of contents Context This post was inspired by Don Lincoln’s latest YouTube video (below). Insights from quantum field theory (QFT) have helped me better understand strange aspects of quantum theory [1]. In particular, leaving behind notions of point particles and wave-particle duality, and just going with fields and wavepackets in… Continue reading Wavepackets and uncertainty principle
