In this episode we see one of the reasons why complex numbers are useful in Quantum Mechanics. This isn’t the only reason why they are useful. We’ll see another one when we look at continuous probability densities.

It’s also not the only way of overcoming certain problems. QM can be formulated in the language of Clifford Algebras. (See for example “Geometric Algebra for Physicists” by Doran and Lasenby.) Since Clifford Algebras encompass complex numbers, this isn’t really that surprising.

Next week, we’ll see what our first complex operator looks like and will find that we’ve actually discovered the Pauli spin matrices.

Everybody’s talking about it: littering the countryside. We Christians never litter because of our respect for everything the Invisible Magic Friend created (except the virus).

By total coincidence, I run a series of walking retreats in the countryside. Booking available now at very reasonable rates. You won’t find this advertised anywhere else.

The environment is not in the news, but it should be. Buddhism explains that things cause other things, which affect the environment, which if it were in the news, I would talk about.

And that would be the Big News Today from a Faith Perspective, if it were in the news.
