- thsksbd 3y agoWhy would this be weird? The classical waves have an amplitude and phase, which is all the QM probability functions really are.
- bdjsiqoocwk 3y ago> A simpler preliminary question would be, why are complex numbers present in non quantum wave mechanics I'm not sure there's anything deep here. Imaginary exponentials contain sines and cosines and so are the solution to a lot of differential equations, even in the complex solutions have no physical interpretations. See e.g. the case of electromagnetism.
