2021-03-23: Zeno's Paradox & The Quantum Zeno Effect

  • 02:58: ... to that observation, the arrow exists as just the distribution of probability amplitudes of its position; its wavefunction is spread between the start and end of ...

2017-07-12: Solving the Impossible in Quantum Field Theory

  • 14:25: ... relay is that the total probability depends on the length of the summed probability amplitudes-- so the square of the real plus the square of the complex ...
  • 15:06: ... applying the principle of least action in the determination of probability amplitudes, it turns out that the "crazy" paths, including the superluminal ones, ...

2017-07-07: Feynman's Infinite Quantum Paths

  • 06:10: However, probability amplitudes are what we call complex numbers.
  • 06:52: But if two parts contribute individual probability amplitudes that point in exactly opposite directions, they cancel each other out.
  • 07:13: Now, when Feynman used this action quantity to figure out the probability amplitudes of his infinite paths, something amazing happened.
