| Jun 28, 2020 at 2:45 | comment | added | epalos | @bolbteppa I encourage you to elaborate and post as an answer. A deeper theoreitical insight like the one you present will be very helpful to a lot of folks! | |
| Jun 27, 2020 at 17:09 | comment | added | Tyberius♦ | @bolbteppa I would certainly be interested in seeing your comment converted to an answer. | |
| Jun 27, 2020 at 2:31 | comment | added | Nike Dattani | @bolbteppa I totally agree with Cody. I think this comment should really be an answer. Welcome to our brand new site !!!! By the way there was some discussion about whether or not people should be discouraged away from putting "answers" in comments: mattermodeling.meta.stackexchange.com/q/74/5. Eventually all these comments (yours, Cody's, mine) will probably get deleted if the chain becomes huge. | |

| Jun 26, 2020 at 23:04 | comment | added | bolbteppa | There are deeper reasons than calculation issues as to why wave functions for large numbers of particles are useless, c.f. Landau Vol. 5 Statistical Physics, Sec. 5: due to the extremely high number of particles, the separation between energy levels becomes so small that the notion of a stationary state (a state s.t. the energy has a definite value) loses meaning, because a measurement fundamentally perturbs the energy so that the uncertainty in the energy measurement is just too big measure E accurately. The resolution is density matrices etc... | |
