comment How is gradient the maximum rate of change of a function?
You've just taken the englisch grammar out of the title.

comment Classical scattering of two particles by a Yukawa potential
@MichaelBrown: I have no idea regarding the integral in the impact parameter link and I don't know how to directly put up the equation of motion since the particle $B$ will be accelerated too giving a super nonlinear potential $\frac{\exp{(-|\Delta r(t)|/\lambda)}}{|\Delta r(t)|}$ .

comment Probability amplitude in Layman's Terms
Whatever is mathematically proven must be w.r.t. some postulates and these are not stated. Also, there are the observable who's probabilities sum to 100% (namely the probability to be in any of a total set of eigenstates) and in this sense it's just probability theory with complex dynamics under the hood. I still don't think this is an inappropriate formulation.

@user9886: The integrals involving position operators are layman's terms?

comment Probability amplitude in Layman's Terms
I'm not too happy with the formulation of "mathematical systems that can yield a nontrivial formalism for probability." Firstly, becuase it sounds like you imply that there are only these two "systems", and secondly, because the quantum framework is still one where "each outcome has a probability, and those probabilities directly add up to 100%." It's just extra dynamics under the hood.

comment QFT in Quantum Computing and Control Theory?
I'd naively interpret the quantum mechanics of quantum computing to be that section of the formalism which doesn't deal with explicit spatial dependence. Even if the framework (Hilbert spaces, yada yada) is the same, the papers on computing/optics look like "$|010\rangle $" while the papers on high energy physics look like "$\int \Psi(x)|\Omega\rangle $"

comment A partial differential equation for kinetic energy
Making a product ansatz, leads to the equation being solved for all of $K(m,v)=(\frac{m}{2a}+d)(a v^2+bv+c)$.
