RE: Schrödinger, the inventor of the master equation of quantum mechanics
Have you used the equation ?
Yes I did. I learned Schrodinger equation long ago, taught it more recently, and produce pedagogical material on the topic very very recently ^^
I am not sure to follow the 'flaws' you are mentioning. Do you mind elaborating? However, if you are non relativistic, the only problem is really the Hamiltonian. Once the hamiltonian is settled, the rest follows (assuming we can solve the equation). Getting better and better hamiltonian is somehow a field in itself.
cool its a intresting topic to learn indeed!
The flaws are not in the the wave equation its when applying it to any mechanical model, solving the equation, yes. The model tends to be 100 % precise only in theory, since it requires theoretical limits which we can´t set up in labs giving rise to e.g QET ?
When doing a simple model of a carbon chain molecule in 3D we must add binding lengths which does not exist! only for the electrons not to be partially located outside the molecule we are modelling :) doing this gives the best model of a molecule but its still weak that´s all :)
Thanks. I must admit that I do not know anything about quantum engineering. But from what you say, the problem is not really the equation itself but our failure in managing to correctly model reality. It is probably not trivial (possibly even not possible today) to incorporate all relevant and realistic effects from the perfect world describe by Schrodinger equation. Am I correct?
Yeah exactly.
