Particles in quantum mechanics are often modeled as Gaussian wave packets because this type of wave packet represents a localized, probabilistic description. In contrast to plane waves, which are spread out infinitely and provide no information about a particle's location.

This always reminds me of sentiment on social media.

This is a good way to demonstrate that the wave field is not a physical parameter. The Psi Ψ symbol represents the quantum state of a system, the same way a phase point represents the "classical" thermodynamic state of a system of particles. (See John von Neumann) There is no physical phase point in space; analogously, there is no wave in space. The Gaussian wave packet can be visualized as representing the probability distribution of a particle's position. (See Max Born) In fact, from Ψ, in theory, you can get the probability distribution of every physical parameter that the system possesses (spin, linear momentum, etc).

Makes a good example of all the variables involved in current and voltage vs usage

That’s possible momentum rotation due to interaction with passing photons

I don’t even understand what I’m looking at, let alone any of the math here. How do some brains work? Clearly mine doesn’t

Love these visual depictions of physics. Which software was used to create them?
