Welcome to r/QuantumPhysics: a subreddit for discussing all things related to quantum mechanics. Discussion of philosophical issues like the interpretation of quantum mechanics is heavily moderated here. Outright crackpottery and new age quantum woo are not welcome. Discussions of experiments to distinguish interpretations are.

Please read the FAQ before asking a question to see if it's been answered already.

Rules:

If you see potentially rule-breaking content, please hit the report button to help moderators see it faster.

Read the FAQ & wikipedia before posting.

The FAQ has answers to the most frequently asked questions. Make sure you're not wasting people's time. Also, if there's a wikipedia page for the topic of your question, read that and then, if necessary, ask questions about any part you don't understand.
No unpublished theories.

This sub is for discussion of the theory of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. It is not a place for discussion of other theories, particularly if they have not been published. Post about theories of quantum physics that have not appeared in a reputable physics journal are not allowed. https://www.reddit.com/r/HypotheticalPhysics/ is the place for that stuff.
Posts must be on-topic.

Posts must relate to quantum mechanics in some way.
Be nice.

Don't be excessively rude.
No solicitation

No selling products or services. No asking for likes or subscribes.
Homework

If you're asking about homework please provide own attempts / thoughts, tell people where you are stuck. Don't just post the problem text. People answering homework posts: don't post outright solutions.
