The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
(Δx Δp ≳ ℏ)
• Implies that there really is no such thing as 'a particle is at 𝑥 with momentum 𝑝'
• That is, the more narrow the 𝑥-PDF |Ψ(x)|², the more broad the 𝑝-PDF |Φ(p)|² will become & vice versa (

I know you know what you’re talking about, I just disagree with you on this point

Just out of curiosity. The probability that we talk about in QM, do you think of it as a Bayesian ir as frequentists?

Read back carefully. I mentioned position and momentum before you called the slit experiment. After that, I only wrote about x and p as conjugates of each other I know this was misleading on my part, but you were the one who wrote about trajectories and momentum reconstruction

How could you then possibly reconstruct the initial momentum, as you claimed you could ‘effectively’ do?
