Quantum mechanics describes the microscopic properties of nature in a regime where classical mechanics no longer applies. It explains phenomena such as the wave-particle duality, quantization of energy, and the uncertainty principle and is generally used in single-body systems. Use the quantum-field-theory tag for the theory of many-body quantum-mechanical systems.

Simple Quantum Mechanics question about the Free particle, (part2)
I would normally just add this as a comment, but I still can not comment.
I would say the author is just saying that because the arguments are effectively the same, and the modulus of each number is …

Apparatus used to test violations of Bell's inequalities
I believe most people are familiar with Bell's Theorem. If I understand correctly, the violations of Bell's inequalities are possible due to the existance of entangled quantum states. Although popul …

Quantum Physics and the Law of Large Numbers
On page 1 of this recent paper by Bousso and Susskind we read.
This question is not about philosophy.
Without a precise form of decoherence,
one cannot claim that anything really
"happened", …

Are black hole states completely mixed?
A completely mixed state is a statistical mixture with no interference terms, and (QMD, McMahon, pg 229):
$$\rho = \dfrac{1}{n}I$$
$$Tr(\rho^2) = \dfrac{1}{n}$$
Are black hole quantum states compl …
