From Waves to Vectors: How Schrödinger’s Equation Led to Hilbert Space

When Erwin Schrödinger developed his famous equation in 1925-1926, he formulated it as a wave equation for matter waves (inspired by de Broglie). He was thinking in terms of differential equations and their solutions (wavefunctions, ψ) in configuration space. His primary goal was to find an equation that yielded the correct quantized energy levels for … Continue reading From Waves to Vectors: How Schrödinger’s Equation Led to Hilbert Space

Gauge Symmetry Should be Phase Symmetry

Walk into any discussion about fundamental physics, especially particle physics and the Standard Model, and you'll inevitably hear the term "gauge symmetry." It's lauded as a cornerstone principle, the very foundation upon which our understanding of forces (like electromagnetism, the weak force, and the strong force) is built. It’s powerful, elegant, and... somewhat misleadingly named. … Continue reading Gauge Symmetry Should be Phase Symmetry

Index level calculation handles various corporate actions explicitly by leveraging the Divisor Mechanism 1. Historical Continuity The primary purpose of the divisor is to maintain continuity in the index value when changes occur that shouldn't affect the economic value of the index, such as: Stock splits Constituent changes Corporate actions (mergers, spinoffs) 2. How the … Continue reading Building a Complex Functional App Is Easy in Our AI Era 03

Building a Complex Functional App Is Easy in Our AI Era 02

Using this comprehensive and systematic approach gives us a great chance to move away from the old Excel and screen methods we've been using. This change not only offers a fresh start but also allows for better efficiency and teamwork. Just think about how much easier our tasks can be when we use modern tools … Continue reading Building a Complex Functional App Is Easy in Our AI Era 02
