FAU LMQ Research Spotlight: How Complex is Quantum Mechanics?
Quantum mechanics is known for being complex — not just because of its counter-intuitive concepts, like particles existing in multiple places at once, but also because it fundamentally relies on complex numbers, a mathematical extension of the real numbers we use in everyday life. While real numbers are sufficient to describe classical physics, quantum theory […]

Quantum mechanics: hypercomplex, or “just” complex?
Today, physicists are still asking themselves whether quantum mechanics needs hypercomplex numbers. FAU researchers Ece Ipek Saruhan, Prof. Dr. Joachim von Zanthier and Dr. Marc Oliver Pleinert have been investigating this question in their research. Exactly 100 years ago, Werner Heisenberg, Max Born and Pascual Jordan formulated quantum mechanics and revolutionized our understanding of physics.
