Hey masto peeps who know math: this is just gibberish right?

This was at an art exhibit that takes place in the -multiverse- so makes sense it's kinda quantum mechanicy

@Firr Looks familiar, but I didn't complete the quantum mechanics course. It could maybe be a cheat sheet for the test there, we were allowed to use one usually.

It appears to be specifically the German or a related notation, I think the symbols may be a little different in English use going by Wikipedia.

@Firr I'm just going to say this: from my inexpert background, the kinds of notation on here are typically related to things the average person should not be in the same room with. Especially because if I'm not mistaken you have just a teensy bit of quantum near the upper right.

There is a likelihood I am incredibly mistaken, but I would advise against touching anything and if you see someone running, just try to keep up. XD

@bluestarultor @Firr No, it's definitely quantum mechanics, all of it really.

There's a good amount of https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac-Notation / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bra%E2%80%93ket_notation in there. (Again the German samples are closer, but I only *almost* studied this.)

Notably, this is physicist notation, with dividing |, not the one with , used by mathematicians.

@Firr That’s like, wave function and spin shit. At least it looks plausible, though I can’t promise it’s real!

@Firr Looks like quantum physics. Someone who actually knows that shit can inform you if it's gibberish though.

@Firr

The notation is right, but I'm not going to figure out if it relates to anything real. The diagrams look reasonable for the odds of finding something in a given state in some place in one dimension for the normal distributed looking one and the parabolic looking one may be a 2 dimensional slice through some parabolic looking potential well. Even if if's nonsense it was done by someone who knows QM.
My eyesight would require downloading it and blowing up to read thoroughly and frankly I'm kinda lazy feeling this evening.
