Understanding the quantum
Quantum physics in practice (what I do!) :
finds Hamiltonian H: kinetic+potential energies
puts Hamiltonian in Schrödinger equation: H?(x,t) = i? ?(x,t)/? t
solves this equation to find the wave function ?(x,t) for all space x and time t.
finds probabilities |?(x,t)|2 as predictions
Do we see a triad ‘end ? cause ? effect’ here?
