The physical meaning of Schrödinger wave equation

by

Quantum mechanics defines our observable environment only in terms of the probabilistic values associated with Schrödinger’s wave equation. However it is extremely difficult to define a set of statements which explains how those probabilities are physically connected to it even though it has held up to rigorous and thorough experimental testing. This may be the … Read more
