Quantum mechanics Quotes
- Anyone wanting to discuss a quantum mechanical problem had better understand and learn to apply quantum mechanics to that problem. - View Quote Details on Anyone wanting to discuss a quantum mechanical problem had better…
- However unfamiliar this direct interparticle treatment compared to the electrodynamics of Maxwell and Lorentz, it deals with the same problems, talks about the same charges, considers the interactions of the same current elements, obtains the same capacitances, predicts the same inductances and yields the same physical conclusions. Consequently action-at-a-distance must have a close connection with field theory. - View Quote Details on However unfamiliar this direct interparticle treatment compared to the electrodynamics…
- Had I known that we were not going to get rid of this damned quantum jumping, I never would have involved myself in this business! - View Quote Details on Had I known that we were not going to get…
- I myself only came to believe in the uncertainty relations after many pangs of conscience… - View Quote Details on I myself only came to believe in the uncertainty relations…
- The very nature of the quantum theory… forces us to regard the space-time coordination and the claim of causality, the union of which characterizes the classical theories, as complementary but exclusive features of the description, symbolizing the idealization of observation and description, respectively. - View Quote Details on The very nature of the quantum theory… forces us to…
- However I cannot seriously believe in it because the theory is incompatible with the principle that physics is to represent reality in space and time, without spookish long-distance effects. - View Quote Details on However I cannot seriously believe in it because the theory…
- Do not presume to tell God what to do. - View Quote Details on Do not presume to tell God what to do.
- What nature demands from us is not a quantum theory or a wave theory; rather, nature demands from us a synthesis of these two views which thus far has exceeded the mental powers of physicists. - View Quote Details on What nature demands from us is not a quantum theory…
- One does not get an answer to the question, ‘What is the state after collision?’ but only to the question, ‘How probable is a given effect of the collision?’ From the standpoint of our quantum mechanics, there is no quantity which causally fixes the effect of a collision in an individual event. Should we hope to discover such properties later… and determine [them] in individual events?… I myself am inclined to renounce determinism in the atomic world, but that is a philosophical question for which physical arguments alone do not set standards. - View Quote Details on One does not get an answer to the question, ‘What…
- For those who are not shocked when they first come across quantum theory cannot possibly have understood it. - View Quote Details on For those who are not shocked when they first come…
- I do not like it, and I am sorry I ever had anything to do with it. - View Quote Details on I do not like it, and I am sorry I…
- If the price of avoiding non-locality is to make an intuitive explanation impossible, one has to ask whether the cost is too great. - View Quote Details on If the price of avoiding non-locality is to make an…
- Marvelous, what ideas the young people have these days. But I don’t believe a word of it. - View Quote Details on Marvelous, what ideas the young people have these days. But…
- There is no quantum world. There is only an abstract physical description. It is wrong to think that the task of physics is to find out how nature is. Physics concerns what we can say about nature. - View Quote Details on There is no quantum world. There is only an abstract…
About Quantum mechanics
Quantum mechanics is a first quantized quantum theory that supersedes classical mechanics at the atomic and subatomic levels. It is a fundamental branch of physics that provides the underlying mathematical framework for many fields of physics and chemistry. Quantum mechanics is sometimes used in a more general sense, to mean quantum physics.
