Understanding the quantum

bullet

Quantum physics in practice (what I do!) :

bulletfinds Hamiltonian H: kinetic+potential energies
bulletputs Hamiltonian in Schrödinger equation: H?(x,t) = i? ?(x,t)/? t
bulletsolves this equation to find the wave function ?(x,t) for all space x and time t.
bulletfinds probabilities |?(x,t)|2 as predictions
bullet

Do we see a triad ‘end ? cause ? effect’ here?
