PypeBrosWe say that the #quantum observables “position” and “momentum” are “complementary” because the precise knowledge of the position (momentum) implies that all possible outcomes of measuring the momentum (position) are equally probable
and it seems like "wave/particle duality" is an unfortunate shortcut to speak about a pair of complementary properties of quantum objects.
"In the two-slit experiment, the position-momentum uncertainty makes it impossible to determine which slit the photon (or electron) passes through without at the same time disturbing the photon (or electron) enough to destroy
the interference pattern"
(I guess I should #booxread https://adamilab.blogspot.com/2014/06/on-quantum-measurement-part-1-hans.html to know more ...)
ow! and Feynman's lectures on #quantum mechanics are available for free on https://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/III_01.html !?
#booxread stuff, definitely !
