Making the Counterintuitive Intuitive in the Quantum World
Strengthening our theoretical understanding of the quantum world involves both detailed quantitative computations of the relevant equations, and an enhancement of our qualitative intuition. This strategy has enabled the Greene group’s discovery of new phenomena, such as the “trilobite molecule” and the interpretation of puzzling experiments.
