Semiclassics: Quantum in form, Classical in spirit
Semiclassics is a wonderful regime where things look quantum but behave classically. What this precisely means I elaborate on in the document by bringing up a result from the paper by Dirac that would later inspire Feynmann. It can be found here. The point of this post is to demonstrate that semiclassics doesn’t need any…

But what really is symmetry? (Apparent vs. Actual Structure)
First post in a while: a fairly short one on some thoughts I had about symmetry. As I see it, symmetry is an artifact of us considering apparent instead of actual structures when analyzing systems. I talk about this and various examples. There are two other stories about symmetry I also hope to cover in…
