Pilot waves: oil droplets model quantum behavior
- mikhailfranco 14y agoTruly one of the most remarkable and important things I have seen in a very long time. Two page summary: http://www.tcm.phy.cam.ac.uk/~mdt26/tti_talks/deBB_10/bush_tti2010.pdf http://www.tcm.phy.cam.ac.uk/~mdt26/tti_talks/deBB_10/bush_t... Longer presentation with lots of pictures (10MB): http://www.iap.fr/activites/seminaires/GReCO/2013/presentations/fort/fort.pdf http://www.iap.fr/activites/seminaires/GReCO/2013/presentati... When combined with Quantum Information Theory that shows QM as 'just' a probability theory, and simple axiomatic approaches like Lucien Hardy's "Quantum Theory From Five Reasonable Postulates": http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0101012 http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0101012 Some of the mystery of spooky QM, long perpetuated by the Copenhagen Interpretation, is finally falling away.

- dps 14y agoReally interesting! Here's the related paper: http://www.europhysicsnews.org/index.php?option=com_article&access=doi&doi=10.1051/epn/2010101&Itemid=129 http://www.europhysicsnews.org/index.php?option=com_article&... I'd love to try to reproduce the Young's double slits experiment at home with silcone droplet walkers! The paper says that the silicone oil is 20 times more viscous than water . Any idea of household oils with similar viscosities?
