Schr\u00f6dinger’s cat: A thought experiment in quantum mechanics – Chad Orzel<\/a><\/p>\n

The narrative is good, the art is good, but I think the depiction of electrons with classical trajectories, both in the double slit and orbiting as in Bohr atoms detracts from this; it arguably sends the wrong message about what’s going on and may reinforce misconceptions. I don’t know if this is simply a problem of illustration, since trajectories are relatively simple, and depicting QM is trickier. It’s not like I have a simple fix for doing the depiction better, though. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
