How can one visualise quantum mechanics? This is a question asked by most lay people, researchers and physics and chemistry teachers, as well as students, There is no simple answer: the peculiarities of the subject have led to famous one-liners, such as 'no-one understands quantum mechanics,' by Richard Feynman. Clearly, this has provided the excuse that no one needs to try to understand it, The behaviour of classical mechanical systems, however, can be understood and their ...
