>The Schrodinger equation is linear
Is it though? Or have we just found a linear approximation to actual reality?
Also, the other day, I read in another HN thread that there are situations (Bose Einstein condensates) where the potential may depend on Psi thus making the equation non-linear (since the potential multiplies Psi).
- gus_massa 6y agoThe Schrodinger equation is linear, but the extension to Quantum Field Theory is not linear https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_field_theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_field_theory so actual reality is even more weird.
