    Speed Limit Enforcement: Setting an Example for Adherence to Laws

    Understanding Renormalization in Quantum Mechanics: Examples and Context

    I keep hearing about renormalization in quantum mechanics, frequently in the context of it's mathematical dubiousness. But no-one ever gives an example of this process. Could anyone give an example of a quantity that must be renormalised, along with some context? Even a very general one would do.

    Simple example of the collapse of the wavefunction?
