Line 5:
** A curiously exotic set of phenomena.
** theoretical model of very very tiny things.
** Major part of how the universe works.
** strangely: all of the above.
* Why is quantum mechanics difficult to understand?
Line 27:
*** Bad data to start (unmeasurable initial conditions)
*** Observers obey QM (Heisenberg cut)
* A curiously exotic set of phenomena.
** Quanta: photo electric effect.
** Interference: double slit.
** Interference: single slit.
** Probability: double slit low intensity.
** Spin: stern-gerlach.
** Entanglement: separate measurements in coincidence.
* The theoretical model of very very tiny things.
** Photo-excitation (classical field)
** Matter waves
** Matter waves are waves.
** Six ways to role two dice.
** Let's do the math: spin.
** Welcome to the edge of the known universe.
* A major part of how the universe works.
** Ubiquity.
** Quantum apparatus; quantum observers.
