Hey everyone,
A quick question that I hope all can participate: In your educated opinion, what is the biggest question or the biggest problem to be solved in quantum mechanics for 2023?
Warm regards,

In the video above we can see the wave like patterns. The microscope on the video, used on the experiment, has a low quality and a low magnification. If anyone has a scientific article or a video source for such experiment with low magnification but with a high quality of definition it would be...
This video from the same guy on photon sieves is also really good, its been kinda of a wild ride to understand that photons are waves of electromagnetic radiation in a membrane-like cuboid¹ shape.. I'm still learning more about everything, this channel as been a life saver on the little free...
Thank you so much for the reply! Yeah, I guess I didn't make a couple of things clear. The ripple would be the "photon" at light speed. I guess once it collides it goes back to looking like a sphere. I'll probably get to work on an updated version of this sphere simulation to encapsulate better...
(0:00 / 0:42) photon going light-speed blender simulation
I have no idea how a mathematician would translate this example into an equation. Every time I've worked with soft bodies I seem to run short of mathematicians buddies. Regardless of the mathematics of continuous object deformation, this...
Also, I'm very curious about some of the results of my experiments, like this frame shot from one of the videos I made... if you zoom out it looks even more like a wave...
So I'm using lasers that continuously shoot out photons. The microscope seems to pick up wavy patterns once the laser goes through both of the slits. Since the microscope is recording (I'm also straight up looking at the experiment going on) doesn't that count as an observation?
As to which...
Oh, so isn't the whole thing about the double slit experiment that the wavefunction collapses and the output is changed with observation? Maybe that's the part I'm getting wrong...
this is what I understand of the wave function: "In quantum mechanics, wave function collapse occurs when a wave...
Also, thank you so much for taking your time to look into this, we are really confused about my results as it did not get the "collapse" expected. the results is a video that seems to be showing the wave function and at no point it collapses. Yes it is blurly as the equipament I have at home...
I think I clearly observe the interference pattern with a laser, two slits and a microscope recording acting as the detector. Yes, I am aware that light travels in a wave format. But, the double slit experiment with photon detectors seem to "collapse once observed".
Me and my friend seem to...
