Maris Ozols: The classical analogue of quantum mechanics

Maris Ozols, IBM TJ Watson Research Center

Abstract

Richard Feynman is known for his quote "I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics." In this talk I will establish a weaker result, namely "to fully understand something quantum, one has to at least know what the classical equivalent of it is."
