Non-Confusing Quantum Mechanics
Fri 2008-04-11
Over at Overcoming Bias, Eliezer Yudkowski has taken it upon himself to explain the basics of quantum mechanics in a non-confusing way. I do think he is succeeding, at least so far. Here are his first posts on the subject [list extended to include later ones on 2008-04-27]:
- Quantum Explanations
- Configurations and Amplitudes
- Joint Configurations
- Distinct Configurations
- Where Philosophy Meets Science
- Can You Prove Two Particles Are Identical
- Classical Configuration Spaces
- The Quantum Arena
- Feynman Paths
- No Individual Particles
- Identity Isn't In Specific Atoms
- Decoherence
- The So-Called Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
- Which Basis Is More Fundamental?
- Where Physics Meets Experience
- On Being Decoherent
Eliezer has posted a definitive list of links to all of his quantum physics posts here:
