>>12391836Go take a physics class, you're still stupid.
>>12391871Again, cuz 2/3 of the people here probably have never set foot in the physics department of their local college.
>>12391918And you're still not close. Wavefunctions are complex-valued, you can't measure that, you can only measure real values. You measure observables, like energy, momentum, position, etc. the wavefunction tells you what are you likely to get if you observe any of those given that the particle is in a particular state(to wit: a particular wavefunction). These observables are mathematically represented by hermitian operators, whose REAL eigenvalues are the possible measurements you can get by performing a measurement on said observable.
If anyone of you don't understand what the hell I'm talking about, it means you don't know the basic math/physics and hence, of course, you lack the vocabulary. How do you learn this? Either by reading an actual textbook on the subject or attending classes in some college. You aint going to learn this by reading articles in your favorite popsci magazine or Brian Greene's books(or whatever fucking popsci author is misleading the masses nowadays).
Recommended reading:
Absolute ignorant - Quantum Mechanics: A Paradigms Approach by McIntyre or Quantum Mechanics: A Modern Introduction by John S. Townsend. These books introduce you to the mathematical machinery required from the bare minimum, and at the same time also present the phenomenology of QM at an introductory level.
Normal-tier - Shankar and/or the first 3 chapters of Sakurai's Modern Quantum Mechanics. Math pre-reqs are heavier but the good thing is these books don't sacrifice explanations of the phenomenology to "nObOdY uNdErStAndS QM XD"
You got your homework, there are no excuses now.
