Line 414:

There should be slightly more detail about exactly what Schrödinger's equation says. A reader should be able to roughly imagine what the evolution described by the equation looks like. I'm not necessarily looking to provide a perfect understanding of the equation, but the page is more vague than it should be [[User:Ramzuiv|Ramzuiv]] ([[User talk:Ramzuiv|talk]]) 00:52, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

== Problems with introduction ==

The introduction is way too long; it should be no more than 4 paragraphs ([[MOS:LEADLENGTH]]). The elementary explanation is good, but my feeling is that some of the more peripheral topics like superfluidity and Ehrenfest’s theorem could be moved to the body. --[[User:Chetvorno|Chetvorno]]^{<small>[[User talk:Chetvorno|<i style="color: Purple;">TALK</i>]]</small>} 18:08, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

:Agreed. This is supposed to be an introductory article, and the lead, in particular, should concentrate on the basics. [[User:MichaelMaggs|MichaelMaggs]] ([[User talk:MichaelMaggs|talk]]) 22:07, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

:My specific proposals:

: 1) Remove from the first paragraph: "This article describes.." through to the end of that paragraph. The historical content in the article can be grouped, making this material redundant with structure.

: 2) Move the entire paragraph "Light behaves in some aspects ..." to Applications

: 3) Remove the Ehrenfest content to a new section on connections to classical physics.

:I'll move forward until someone yells. [[User:Johnjbarton|Johnjbarton]] ([[User talk:Johnjbarton|talk]]) 02:19, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

::Ok down to two paragraphs. Lots of reorg. The Einstein material is still duplicated and the photon section is dubious, but the major character of the article is, IMO, in better shape.

::Please check.
