###Welcome!

This subreddit is for asking questions about how to calculate quantities using quantum mechanics. It is also for posting interesting published articles and peer-reviewed papers in quantum mechanics. It is not for discussing philosophy. Feel free to ask questions, and post relevant content. If you're unsure as to whether something is appropriate to post here or not, please message the mods.

In particular, here are some things not to talk about:

interpretations of quantum mechanics (unless it's a report of an experiment intended to distinguish them)
consciousness
faster-than-light communication using entanglement
the bad analogy popularizers make between measuring a quantum system and social interactions when people think they're being watched
solicitation
"alternative" physics, "not even wrong" statements, incoherent jumblings of science words, or claims that have not been peer reviewed
