*It's hard to keep up with you. When I claimed the wf sort-of propagates instantaneously at its creation since, say, the probability density for double slit extends from minus to plus infinity, you claimed I was making unrealistic assumptions about initial conditions, such as assuming the screen extends to infinity. Would appreciate clarification on this issue. Does the wf in complex plane extend to infinity in real and imaginary axis? In general, does the positively valued probability density extend to minus and plus infinity? TIA, AG* Brent *Impressive calculation to be sure, but is this a theoretical value based on the assumption I deny; or is it achieved by a working quantum computer?
