>I would appreciate if you put the concept in terms such that somebody absolutely new to the area can understand them.Picrelated is what I said - a visual representation of a numerical simulation of the quantum theory of the strong force.
>To be clear, I'm asking for an understanding of quantum mechanics—not just fluctuations.I suggest you start reading textbooks on the subject, as no amount of /sci/ is adequate to teach QM. At most baby level quantum mechanics consists of systematically replacing observables by operators and states of the system by elements of (infinite)dimensional complex vector space with an inner product, the necessity of which was realized because of experimental discovery of phenomena, which do not admit any classical description. None of which I have said makes any sense, if you dont have the background, so my suggestion is that you go ahead and start learning physics - you at least need a solid background in the methods of analytical mechanics of the kind you would see in say Landau Lifschitz Classical Mechanics or Goldstein Classical Mechanics or Arnol'd, which involves words like Hamiltonians, Poisson brackets, Lagrangians, integrals of motion, etc.
If you want to know why there are fluctuations - it is the result of the fact that quantum mechanically any state you can imagine ends up having its ground state not actually have 0 energy, even if it is a field. That can be seen either by the uncertainty principle or otherwise by usage of ladder operators.
>>13796020>it's interpretations of Schrodinger's equation.Schrodinger equation is just an equation and has no relation to the content of what quantum mechanics and quantization are in the sense that it is only a consequence of it that is there for reasons of classical physics actually.
