"uantum mechanics, also known as quantum physics or quantum theory, is a branch of physics providing a mathematical description of the dual particle-like and wave-like behavior and interaction of matter and energy. Quantum mechanics describes the time evolution of physical systems via a mathematical structure called the wave function. The wave function encapsulates the probability that the system is to be found in a given state at a given time. Quantum mechanics also allows one to calculate the effect on the system of making measurements of properties of the system by defining the effect of those measurements on the wave function. This leads to the well-known uncertainty principle as well as the enduring debate over the role of the experimenter, epitomised in the Schrödinger's Cat thought experiment."

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 4 Jul 2011, 16:10, Reply)

I hate the idea of wave particle duality.
It's bollocks, it's much easier to say a photon acts like a photon, we have two mathmatical models that sort of work for it, one pretend it's a particle, two pretend it's a wave.

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 4 Jul 2011, 16:12, Reply)

yeah but if you want to make predictions
you have to pick a model to base them on.
(Zoz prayed for twink on, Mon 4 Jul 2011, 16:14, Reply)

That's a practical implication,
it's not something that should be worked into the description at the beginning. I think it just confuses and I think it's the sort of thing that should be taught fairly early in school.
(PsychoChomp, Mon 4 Jul 2011, 16:18, Reply)

it would be nice to have a tidy definition but there isn't one
and I think that it's also important to teach people early on that in the many cases there is no right answer, or more confusingly, several correct answers depending on the situation.
(Zoz prayed for twink on, Mon 4 Jul 2011, 16:28, Reply)

All right then Dr. Feynman,
how do you propose to solve the Schrödinger equations for atomic and molecular systems without taking this duality into account? You'll get bonus points if you can reconcile your models with experimental data.

(Bazongaloid, Mon 4 Jul 2011, 16:26, Reply)

You use that as a technique to solve the problem.
I don't think it's necessary to use it to describe a particle. You don't describe anything else in the physical world by the maths you use to predict it's behaviour.
(PsychoChomp, Mon 4 Jul 2011, 16:28, Reply)

I asked the question in the wrong way.
What I should have said was: how could you explain the behaviour of matter at the atomic or molecular level without using a wave-like model? A wave-like model that approximates particle-like behaviour more and more closely as you scale it up.
( The Mock TurtIe ™ --- Thinks you are a cunt, on, Mon 4 Jul 2011, 16:30, Reply)

That's fair enough for describing behaviour.
I just don't like the metaphores and little thought experiments that go with all the descriptions of the sub atomic. An electon is not like a coin that has to flip twice to get back where it started, it's an electron, these are it's properties that's how it should be taught.
(PsychoChomp, Mon 4 Jul 2011, 16:37, Reply)

Problem is, if you wanted to give a full explanation without any hand-waving, you'd have to go into the hard mathematics.
But I agree that the metaphors and explanations most non-scientific folk are familiar with are clumsy and ambiguous.
